Hiya Jon,
Ray has the HX King Rabbit series, I have had a number of the same type of machines from my UK supplier (HPC Lasers Ltd) and they are great, as to Ray himself, Chris at HPC didn't have any lens barrels in for a job I was working on (experimentation on a few new ideas) so a quick email to Ray and 4 days later (bearing in mind I'm 5,000 miles away) they turned up on my doorstep
He loves what he does, you can see that by his posts on forums and the feedback he gets from customers.
If anybody is telling you that you need 80+ watts to engrave anodised aluminium they are talking plain crap! 35 watts will do a better than average job on the same thing without the issues of power density being too high on an 80 watt RECI and with short focal length lens's (38mm / 25mm)you will get very good definition (smaller spot size). The FAQ I linked has more info on the lens's, mirrors, compressor requirements and such like
best wishes
Dave
