NEC is faster as far as I know.
Check out www.cdfreaks.com for some reviews
I think they're both the same drives really, both have NEC Firmware. I think there are reviews on ebuyer, i read some yesterday.
If you do a search on the forums then i think you'll find a few threads. Almost everyone will say NEC
They've got the same hardware apparently, or at least the same NEC chipset. NEC seems to be faster overall though, and there's a lot more of a following in terms of hacked firmwares etc. as far as I can tell. Plus it's a couple of quid cheaper.
Rich :¬)
both great buys but I'd go for the cheapest.See if there's any software etc with either.My NEC 2510a is a great drive and so was my pioneer 106 before that.Whichever you choose you've made a good choice.
Another vote for NEC here.
The "unofficial" firmwares are updated all the time to support more media codes and this gives better support for newer media.
http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php is a great place for firmwares and updates by herrie whos a great coder for a wide range of dvd drives but herrie seems to concentrate on mainly NEC drives.

I read somewhere, might have been on here that you can download a firmware which allows 4x media to burn at 12x
i have the pioneer 108 and must say i cant fault it.. but they are one and the same inside so go for the cheapest
