Hey, I'm Mark, and with work, I will be at a little over $500 by next thursday. I was about to buy a fusion, but after some thoughts, would it be worth waiting until I have enough for a Spyder?
Thanks

It depends on what you want it for. The 200mW Spyder will seem brighter but where it will be most noticable is in it's burning ability. The Fusion is smaller and cheaper to operate and packs a lot of power, but if you have the means to buy a Spyder I'd probably go for it as there is a noticable difference.

Also, I've seen tricks the spyder performs. It can pop a balloon on contact, whereas my 55mw takes 3-5 seconds. The fusion is very powerful itself, but the Spyder probably would be worth the extra mW just for the power! It will undoubtedly operate above 200mw so you will definately enjoy it! Oh, and the heatsink is a plus!

Good Luck!

if i were you, i'd save up for a spyder.

if you get the fusion, it probably won't be long until you want more power.

there's a huge difference in brightness between a 125mw fusion and 300mw spyder Exclamation
