Which is better?

I have alcohol 120% but daemon tools seems even easier to use and better. Thoughts?

Alcohol seems to be a little more robust and has some nicer features, but daemon is free and easy

Daemon=Free
Alcohol 120%=$$$

Which one is better?
Well you can't just go on price alone.
If you just want a easy free mounting program then Daemon Tools all the way.
If you want more features like a burner (that can read protected discs) then Alcohol.
They both really use the same mounting principal (same SCSI service or w/e you want to call it).

So you really can't compare them since they do different things can ya ;)

well after switching to daemon i can say that it is MUCH easier to get into your games after you have created a mini image of the disc, because it has emulation options (or at least much more easily accessible ones).

alcohol is better, but you have to pay for it. daemon is free, but lacks many features (creating disc images, for example)
