What is the difference between a rotating laser for $600 and one for $1500?

Generally features found on more expensive rotating lasers may include; Grade Setting Capability on one or more axis, Scan line modes for indoor visible clarity, anti vibration mechanisms, TILT features for tamper protection, Vertical (side) rotation for vertical alignment, Greater range, Greater accuracy (see question 7) and Dual Sided receiver. Secondly build quality can be substancially different, with cheaper less robust parts used in the budget laser level (ideal for low use situations), more expensive professional grade lasers will have full metal chassis protecting the important components from drops and knocks, more expensive units may offer a more stable calibration and finally longevity the cheaper units may not last as long. Thirdly comes service, backup and warranty; More expensive brands will often
