Re: Best laser lens for Playstation?

I need to lift this topic, since I have some thoughts about lasers. I recently ordered two different laser units, one brand new chinese copy, KSM-440BAM and another one, that's genuie good shaped original one, KSM-440ADM (pulled out from NTSC-J console, 5500-series). I read somewhere, that lasers in 5500-series ones are the last proper quality ones, since they started to reduce manufacturing costs of the units after that. So, should I just maintain that original Sony one and use the chinese copy as spare parts perhaps ? At least the spindle motor should be good one in chinese models, but the gears are rubbish really.
What's more, I have one broken chinese unit, that I could customize to make it last longer, with some thin metal applied to the laser sled to prevent wearing. Some experiments with that would be interesting to try out.
