How big of a project/parts count are you needing?
Programming costs can be prohibitive for a small quantities. - like yowza!
Are their other options like water-jet or plasma?
Again small quantity runs can get pricey because of programming but less expensive than a laser cut.
If your quantities are higher (100,000-1 million pieces) a punch die might end up being a cheaper alternative with near laser cut quality.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Ive got a guy that does water jet.
My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.
If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!

There's also CNC wire EDM, which a lot more shops have than laser cutting. I've had numerous batches of parts custom-cut by wire EDM.

Www.monstermetalwerkz.com he built my custom bumper for my ATV but he also does other metal work.
That will open up a whole other can of worms. EDM does not love thin plate without fixture support. The flush causes vibration of thin metal, which in turn breaks wire/distorts finish.
Colorado Laser is good to go.
It's not the odds. It's the stakes.
They use Plasma cutting but full CAD CAM cut and bend, my 18 ga. stuff comes out fine http://nowcut.com/
