1min is not too bad, considering there is only a 20sec difference between 24x and 32x. :)

I have found the same thing . . . 16X is the "sweet spot" where you getr the most bang for the buck.

I tend to agree, although I suppose there are situations where that minute counts. Of course if you're an impatient mofo like me you have to go for the 24x or 32x. Personally, about the whole bang for the buck thing if you get a cheaper 24x you can tack on the extra minute for the same price as the more expensive 16x.

My 8x writer takes about 9 minutes to burn a full 650Mb including the lead in/lead out :(

I really need to upgrade!
