I went ahead and bought the Pioneer AO4A , due to the proliferation of cheaper 
media DVD-R, over the less available DVD+R. It would also seem to be that the 
old betamax/vhs saga is being waged out there, but the pioneeer is the most 
popular NOW, as such it might win out. Price is a vast consideration with the 
Pioneer which is also able to burn at 4X with the AO5A, 15min for 4.7gig. I
am able to burn at 2X only and 8x cd-r.
