Can't speak for 254 but we've used ABS for several years now. We love the material but you are correct on the challenges of laser cutting especially at 1/4". That does not stop us though. We just run at a real low cut speed and get pretty clean cuts. Some cleanup is required.
For reference we use a WKLaser LC1280 which is a 150 watt laser. Going real slow we can make it through 1/4" ABS in one pass. Thinner material cuts without an issue.
