I am currently deciding which DVD burner to upgrade to. I currently use a Sony DRU-530a and now want to access DVD-R Dual Layer burning which this drive doesn't support. I have been pleased with my Sony and am considering staying with them in the formof the Sony DRU-800a or switching to the Pioneer DVR-109. After extensive attempts to get up to date reviews I have resorted to the one place where I know I will get good, honest advice. Any suggestions, recommendations welcome. Thanks
