HP dvd200e vs Sony DRU-120A

[nasaldoc]

I am ready to take the jump into DVD. I'd like thoughts on the HP dvd200e and the Sony DRU120A. Has anyone had experience with both? Any comments would be appreciated.

Until Sony upgrades their firmware, it is better to get the HP 200 as it comes with a bitset utility that can be very helpful for +RW discs. See this link:
