Laser cut panel - vs. water jet cut panel

I had my panel laser cut by a guy in Idaho recommended by the epanelbuilder.com website. I believe the price was pretty good, around USD 100. The problem is that the laser seems to do quite a bit of burning through the aluminum. I've attached some photos. I'd recommend going with a company that does water jet cutting instead of the laser.
