I have a CRP4848 and have considered adding a laser. How has this worked out for you and are you satisfied with the results you are achieving?

I'm very happy with it. Not the same as having a dedicated cnc laser or software, but as far as an adaptation goes it has proved easy to use. Most of my work is regular router work and only a few special laser projects. Still, it only takes about 4 minutes bolt on the laser and drop in the controller. It would be even faster but I've not gotten around to adding a speed bolt to the laser mount. So it is a bit slow to snug up with an allen wrench do to limited clearance.
Bottom line is that it works good enough that it leaves me looking forward to more laser work AND not in any big rush ( OK.. no rush ) for a dedicated laser. At some point I may even do a 150 watt laser mod.
