I'll take the laser pistol. Quick turn-around means a lot because liquidity means a lot, and the dollars back per unit of time is very high. I remember calculating it out from the guides back in the day, and if laser pistols weren't top, they were close enough even in this extremely money-tight game. I do remember the laser cannons were good though, as all the laser stuff was.

Laser cannons take 300 hours to make and return 29k. Laser pistols take the same amount of time and return 12k. Of course the ROI is smaller but the $/hr is higher (just like playing high stakes SnGs, whaddaya know). Anyway back on track - so yeah, laser cannons are significantly better, you just need to make fewer of them at once and go to the sell screen more often.
