Dropped $600 on a laser level for big tile jobs, not sure it was worth it

I got the DeWalt DW089LG for a 2,000 sq ft commercial lobby last month. The lines were perfect and it saved me maybe an hour of layout time. But honestly, I could have done it with my old chalk line and a 6-foot level for a fraction of the cost. It feels like a cool toy more than a needed tool. Do you guys use lasers a lot, or are they just for show?

So you saved an hour on that job, but did it actually make the work easier on your back and eyes?

Ha, easier on my back? My posture's still a disaster.
