AlgoLaser Alpha MK2 40W Extended (15.7"×33.5")
What we like
- Extended bed nearly doubles usable length over the standard 40W Alpha MK2
- 40W handles thicker cuts than the 20W extended model
- Same touchscreen smart features
- Automatic air assist included
Watch out for
- Largest footprint in the open-frame Alpha MK2 lineup
- Most expensive open-frame Alpha MK2 configuration
- No enclosure on this configuration
Creality Falcon2 Pro 60W
What we like
- Highest power in the enclosed Falcon2 line — cuts 22mm basswood or 30mm acrylic in one pass
- Bundles the 1.6W fine-detail module standard
- Cleaner cuts at high power with less carbonization per Creality's own comparisons
- Enclosed Class 1 design with camera and air assist standard
Watch out for
- Heaviest (19.5kg) and most expensive Falcon2 Pro tier
- No true autofocus
- Large 664×570×328mm footprint needs real desk space
