There are several advantages to laser cutting over die cutting.
1. Consistent parts - the 100/200th part is the same as the 1st.
2. You don't have to sharpen the laser (LOL).
The only thing about laser cut parts is that you should (my belief) that you should lightly sand off the carbon left behind from the laser cutting process where you are going to apply glue. This ensures a good bond. Not all people believe that this matters. I am not one of those.
Realize, Wreckman2 that there is shrinkage / distortion when you reproduce a print, around 2% (+/-). You'll find more issues with reproducing the prints than you'll see with consistency with laser cutting technology.
I am not sure what issues you are referring to regarding your laser cut kit, but the laser cuts it the same everytime! I am curious to see what you were referring to. Sharing that information, can possibly help Robert or Jeff to resolve it so that others do not have to encounter it, if it is in deed an issue.
