    Which pioneer dvd-rw?

    Hoping to get the new pioneer 216 drives soon, but slightly confused with the two different models.

    these are the two:

    and

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=877415


    The only difference seems to be one has support for DVD-RAM and is around a pound or so more, but which would be the bette buy?

    They're both pretty much the same bar the ram burning, and though my buner has the facility I can't remember the las time I used a ram disk.

    So, on that basis I would go with the cheaper one without the ram burning properties, unless of course, you feel that you may need it.
