I just purchased the Plextor model you mentioned and have had nothing but
success with it. Although it cost a little more than the Yamaha and Sony, the
Plextor name = reliability. After making way too many coasters with my previous
writer (not to mention 2x is slow), I figured I'd spend the extra $$$ and not
purchase another coaster-maker.

I got mine at http://www.avlogic.com.

HTH,
Scott
