If I needed a new writer, I'd probably get a dual-layer (as long as it did 8x-16x in single layer mode), but I don't see the point in having one now. It's tough finding dual layer blanks, too. I'd rather go the other direction - to the mini-DVDs (3-inch). But the price of those is too high.

BTW, I just got an email this evening from Pegasys stating that version 1.6 of TMPGEnc DVD Author is available. All it does is add support for dual layer DVD+R. $11 to upgrade the software.

According to Klinky that drive will burn dual layer after a firmware upgrade so you should be ok.

Of course, a single DVD9 DVDR will coast you $10 or so currently. :\

I'll be sticking with my single layer burner and spindels of 50 for $50 for a while. Yay for Nero Recode. :}
