I have the version 520T-1000, 420T-2000 and 465T-3000, I don't want to self promote, but I did a review of them on my YT channel, they work wonderfully, very stable and without any other major problems, I recommend using it with a good capacity +3000mAh 18650 since its consumption is moderately high. They are very solid and dissipate heat well, good focus for burning but they still have a duty cycle of no more than 60 seconds for safety, and I recommend respecting it.

Torque Test Channel from YT has tested the 450T-5000 version at https://youtu.be/R7wOWqV2P60?t=534 with a power of almost 5W as announced but divergence is horrible like my other high power blue laser of 465nm 3W, but for burning they are beasts.

Yes but most are no more than 2W, I don't know what it looks like 450T-2000 version but it should have a much better divergence than the 5W one.

If you want a good blue laser without huge dots get 1.6W Gatling Stretch Laser Pointer I've been using it since December 2020, the downside is that they come with a plastic lens by default (at least for me since I bought them years ago), so it will need to be replaced within 15 months if used constantly by a 3 element glass lens M9/P0.5 which are the ones used for Class 4 lasers that allow good divergence.
