Quite often the laser collimator is not collimated.

I steer clear of these but you can get it close enough with them I suppose. I just always felt that it wasn't right and I'm a bit pedantic about collimation (I have flocked my OTA, got some nice eyepieces, clean my primary etc.) so why wouldn't I want my scope as 'collimated' as possible? I sold the laser collimator and bought a cheshire. One of my greatest purchases.
