Laser satisfaction

[Pavel]

Absolutely love my Shark Pro Plus, and have used it on plaques, signs, and other projects with carvings and etchings.
I am thinking of buying the Next Wave Laser. Only want it for photo projects on wood with additional lettering. I have been told that there has been some "doctoring" to images in advertisements for the laser attachment. Since I have retired funds for toys are limited, so I need input from actual users. Is the Next Wave Laser satisfactory for my intended use or should I invest in a dedicated bench top machine?
