Should I upgrade my 20w diode to a 60w?

So I'm currently running an xtool 20w, and I was thinking of upgrading to a lasertree 60w module, but I read a comment on another post that said they could only cut 1/4" plywood in 1 pass at 150mm-220mm/min. I can sometimes cut 1/4 inch plywood faster than that in 1 pass with my 20w. Does anybody here have experience cutting 1/4 plywood with the lasertree 60w module? Is that other persons comment accurate? If so, could it maybe be a focal length issue? I want to be able to cut 1/4 ply faster without buying an expensive co2 laser.

Attached a pic of a lamp I made a while back.

Remove smell from cutting plywood?

I 3d printed this inline filter enclosure and put a hepa filter, and 4 layers of activated carbon filter pad inside. It removed all the smoke, but the smell is still strong. Is there a way to remove the smell as well? I'm exhausting it out my window, but i still smell it when I go outside, and I don't want any neighbors thinking something is burning down.
