Default Laser vs. Hand Stippling

I've been noticing a growing laser grip enhancement or simply "laser stippling" movement in the market. This is compared to the regular hand stippling method (wood burning tool, dremel, etc.)

Anyone have one of their M&Ps laser stippled? Care to share any differences in feel or performance?

I'm on the fence - the market is open, if people like it...the art succeeds...if not, then hand stippling rules the day.

[In all openness, I hand stipple grips...so I'm biased].

I'd choose laser. I'm betting this is safer and it looks as if you could remove the finger grooves easier. Less of a chance for screw ups.
