Is the OMTech 60W CO2 or xTool P2 compatible with LightBurn?

The OMTech 60W CO2 works natively with LightBurn. The xTool P2 uses xTool Creative Space. LightBurn compatibility may be possible via a community device profile but is not officially supported.

Is the OMTech 60W CO2 (60W) much faster than the xTool P2 (55W)?

Higher wattage typically means faster cutting and the ability to cut thicker material in fewer passes. The OMTech 60W CO2 (60W) cuts thicker material in single passes and engraves at higher speeds than the xTool P2 (55W). For raster engraving the difference is smaller because surface engraving is limited by mechanical scan speed.
