Hobbyist who wants to engrave and cut both wood and metal (mainly thin brass) -- what kind of laser setup would I be looking at? One diode laser and one fiber laser? Just one laser, diode or fiber, for both?

I'm a hobbyist and occasional seller of woodworking projects. It's not a full-fledged business, and to be honest, I'm not interested in making it one -- I'm happy to just make what I want and try to sell it or something if I don't need it. Which is to say, I don't really care about things like a setup with the maximum speed or efficiency. Speed is nice and all, but I'm happy for a cutting or engraving project to take a bit longer if it means I spend less money or square footage on the laser itself. I do my work in a garage retrofitted into a shop, so space is a premium!

I'm mostly looking to cut and engrave wood, including hardwood (probably just engraving the latter), and cut thin brass sheet. In fact, mostly I'd be looking to engrave an inlay in wood, then cut brass sheet to fill that inlay.

So: what would you recommend? From my reading, a fiber laser would be my best bet for cutting brass sheet, though a powerful diode laser would also punch through. Would it be better to get one powerful laser that can do the most demanding work, and use it for everything, or two lasers, one for cutting brass sheet and another for your more ordinary wood projects? Is the expense of running a laser powerful enough to cut brass high enough that you would consider it worthwhile to have a lower-powered one for other projects? And of course, do you have any recommendations for specific cutters to look at?

Thanks in advance for any advice! There's a plethora of brands, different laser types, different laser powers, bundles of different lasers in one, and so on, and it's just a touch overwhelming trying to narrow in on my specific needs.
