It seems for now that the NEC3520A has much better ratings. Both it and the Pioneer 109 uses the NEC chipset, so I don't know what the big difference is. You can read the 3520A comments here.
I'll have to check New Egg to see how the two writers are rated there.
I've been asking this in several places, but haven't received an answer. Where in the official DVD's do the layer breaks occur for ESB and ROTJ. I know where it occurs for ANH. I don't plan on buying or renting them to find out as I won't be using them for my project, but I would like to know where they set their layer breaks.
Thanks.

Go with the NEC. I have the older model 2510A after my Plextor 708A crapped out on me and I haven't had one bad coaster yet. It handles every media I've thrown at it so far and IMHO is a GREAT burner. Buy form NewEgg, can't go wrong with the price too.
