| I am thinking of purchasing one within two weeks. Is there any technical reason or newer generation coming up, so that I should delay my purchase? |

| What I have been told is that the batch they are sending out this week will have the switch fixed and the lens as well. I didn't hear about any other changes past the ones I've listed. I hope that helps. |

| Thanks. Except for power, is there any significant technical difference in the three blue Spyder models |

That should help, thanks Sean.
Does anyone own a blue Spyder and can relay their experiences to me. Are there any reviews of them? |

| There are few people, I believe that have ordered the blue spyders. You may be able to get some info on other Blue Spyder users from Steve. |

I got one. It has the characteristic "excess glue around the lens" business that several folks have mentioned.
I don't know how the newer switches are characterized, but I think someone mentioned they are silent.
My switch definitely makes a "click" noise. |

i think the click noise would be kinda cool
but then silent would be even better

| Thanks Msnyder. Is the glue "feature" recent, and does it affect performance or looks a lot? I would prefer a silent switch. |

No need to go scuba diving -- just shine your laser thru a bottle or glass of water!
Yes, the beam does show up real nice. Try other liquids as well! I get a kind of
yellow beam effect from beer -- which is curious, because when the beam comes
out the other side of the glass, it's green again! |
