Which Pioneer model?

Sorry 108

Which Pioneer model?

The Pioneer 108 can only perform bitsetting on DVD+R DL media and the cdr
burns are slow. The importance of that is determined by the buyer. The 3520
is new to the US. Not even listed on the NEC North American web sites as it
is on the UK site.
However it is available for sale here. Just a few $ more than the 3500. NEC
has long been an oem supplier. Perhaps the pricing strategy indicates an
effort to grab retail market share. It also indicates that the 3520 is a
replacement for the 3500 and not being sold as an upgrade. I have not been
able to find any reviews on the 3520. I am shopping for a DVD rw and was
settling in on the 3500. But I may wait until more info becomes available on
the 3520.

Is two minutes for 700meg considered slow now? Blimey.
