You should really try it out and see what you think.
With RDWorks we’re pretty much stuck with whatever issues it has.
LightBurn is very actively devoloped, and the developers respond to bug reports and feature requests. The only advantage that RDWorks has is that it is free. Based on using both RDWorks and LightBurn (and also reading what other users have written) LightBurn is a much better piece of software. In the testing I’ve done it moved and cut much smoother. While we will most likely end up replacing it with same controller as is in Luigi, I’m curious to see how much better Mario runs just with better software. We won’t have to immediately replace the controller in Mario. This gives us the ability to transition more gracefully users won’t have to immediately switch software, they can spend some time getting used to it. There are a number of advantages to using LightBurn on both lasers instead of swapping to RDWorks on Mario: So I guess I want to ask what’s keeping us from just converting the red laser to use RDWorks, is it an issue of having to buy another controller? Users have to pay for a license if they want to use it on their own machine, but we have a discount code so members can purchase the software for $20 instead of $80. They have a great support forum (which may look a bit familiar). Easy to use interface (In real English!). It also loads files much faster than LaserWeb. Imports many file types: AI, PDF, SVG, DXF, PLT, PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP. Supports both of the controllers that we currently have. Camera support so you can line up your design on your workpiece more easily and do other cool things. Move the head by clicking a point on the bed. Here is a quick summary of pros and cons for this software. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc. Overall I think this will be a very positive change for the usability of our laser cutters. If you have a file that never worked right in LaserWeb it would be a good test to see how well LightBurn handles it. 
So, if you want to jump on learning the new software let us know. In the long run, if LightBurn works out well we will probably want phase out the other 2 to avoid confusion. RDWorks and LaserWeb are both still installed, so you can keep using them as well. We need to do some more testing, and put together some instructions ( you love doing that, right?). It is fairly similar to RDWorks, much easier to use than LaserWeb, and can be used with either laser. I’ve tested it out a bit and quite like it so far. I’ve installed a new laser control program called LightBurn on both of the laser computers. So, I know you all love it when I change the laser software, right?
