Probably better with the custom bats. Why not ask for a boom bat from Rob Pack? Or something form any of the other batmakers on here...?

What's a boom bat is that one of the models

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Pressed a bit more, which has better performance, more of a boom, but is likely to last for less time, which Rob makes sure you know..! 
Up to you, I think asking Liam or Rob would be best, or you could ask him when you go up on the 29th Jan! :)

It's a difficult decision. If you've got the money, by all means. However, people on here make the point that there are batmakers on this forum who will sort you out with 3, 4, or even 5 customs for that price (roughly £1154, a fair price to pay!) As I said, a difficult decision to be made!

Besides if you wanted to flaunt a good bat I'm sure the majority of 'normal' club cricketers wouldnt even know what a laver is, so you could get a gray nicolls legend

You say that, but I was bowling at a number 11 last season using a Laver PB! I was horrified! What a waste of a bat on the last man...

I was the only person who recognised it. To be fair, in our side, we've got a mixture of GM, GN, Adidas, Puma, an old Newbery, and my Hunts County. We've got quite a standard selection of bats in our normal XI!

Actually that does make sense. Only one little lad at our club has a laver, but he's a very good player! Though, I'm going to try and divert people away from bigger brands as they can pay a lot less for such a great custom bat, from Blueroom, SAF, H4L Lekka or any maker on here..dunno why more people don't buy custom-mades at my club, I guess they just don't know...
Oh yeah, my bad, Sorry that was off-topic. I won't do that again, got a bit carried away... :(
Edit:
Won't post on this any more as what I'm saying isn't on topic, sorry Essex, though come on you GUNNERS! 3-1!!
In the end mate, it's all up to you, you're the one spending the money.

I can tell you Johan why most do not because most do not care

And the bit about it breaking you get another bat Pb standard with the signature....

Like most have said if you have the money go for it bud..

I have had many a Laver and think there up there with the best you buy a premium product from a premium batmaker  are they better bats than the forum offers some are some are not...

If i had the money i would have one maybe next year

humm what club were you playing? Our number 11 uses a laver custom and it is totally wasted on him. Actually it is an odd bat the middle is right at the bottom, it's really heavy and the pick up is grim- not a surprise that though.

Comedy, two number 11's using Lavers! What a waste. In the mean time, on topic, i'm not sure spending a grand on a bat is the best value for money.
