<<Have you ever tried the Yamaha? I have not used the 24x yet, but I see they have a type of burnprrof now + the 8MB buffer.>>
You mean me? Oh yea, I've used the 24x, it's pretty good. The LED's is really cool looking, and it has a lot of features like Mt.Rainier and AudioMaster, good software bundle too. The bad thing is they're a bit expensive.
