I would like some input from anyone who has a fiber laser unit, the one I am interested in is the cleaner/welder ones.
Continuous output ones are rated from about 1000-4000 watts and are mostly from the far east available on Amazon and Aliexpress with prices ranging from about $4500- $45000.
Are there any Canadian or even N. American dealers where I can get some solid pricing and unit specs from.

Not sure what that means.

We just imported and installed a 12,000 watt laser. Compared to made in China models with local representation, I'd put it as somewhere less than half the cost. It's riskier importing, but you will pay a significant premium for local representation.
