Anyone replaced an RF laser tube with a glass one?

Hi all,

I have an Epilog Legend 24 30W and unfortunately it's time to tend to the tube.

I'm considering a recharge of my tube or replacement with a glass one. Has anyone actually done this and can provide any and all info regarding the pros and cons, as well as anything pertinent to the actual process itself?

I understand that up to around 50W the quality of engraving is comparable. Is this true?

Apart from the tube, power supply, and water cooling, does anything else change?

Can I keep the same controls?

What about the driver on my PC?

Can I continue using CorelDraw to prepare jobs as before?

Any and all info is appreciated.

TIA,
Ruvane.
