aside from it's capability to burn DVD-RAM, what is the difference between this drive and the DVR-110?

the DVR-111D is $6 cheaper at newegg (inexpensive shipping for both selected)

Supposedly improved burns due to a new NEC chipset and a redesigned chassis. Scans I saw posted didn't look too bad with early v1.02 firmware. Version 1.06 was just released. Anxious to see what improvements may be seen.
