Unless the portability is a really big issue for you, I'd go tried and true, SCSI all the way. I can't help you too much with makes and models, but I'd add that when Sony stopped making the 900e (this was a $7000 industrial model) some of my old mastering colleagues found a couple of the Yamaha burners to be almost worthy substitutes. For commodity burners, I dunno. We all know SCSI is SCSI is SCSI, right? :) -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
