Laser layout tool

For a few years I've been using a Straitline laser lay out tool.
It was so cheap that I bought six of them from the mark down bin.

They have been great time savers with my tile work-However they are to fragile,The last one is dying

Who makes a good,tough layout laser?(at a fair price)

I do a fair bit of tile floors-I'm spoiled. I'll be needing one soon enough.

Any suggestions?

a PLS 90 would be a good choice, but they aren't cheap, you can get them for about $400.
