Help choosing between these DVD burner choices

Hi, I am about to buy a DVD burner during the summer once my university term ends and I need some help deciding. The place where I buy my parts from, they have the following 3 burners and some others, but these three particularly attracted my attention:

LG GSA-4163
NEC ND3520
Pioneer DVR-109

I know late last year, Anandtech had a DVD burner shootout and the top three models were: LG GSA-4160B, NEC ND-3500AG, Pioneer DVR-108D and the NEC came out as the #1 choice. Now, the newer variants are available (as listed at the top) and as I can't find any reviews comparing these three newer models, I wonder if anybody can recommend which one of these I should buy. Price is not an issue as all three cost about the same.

Any help is appreciated!
 
I'd recommend the NEC 3520A. I bought one a few months ago, and it has performed better than expected. Not a single coaster, having tried 3 brands of DVD media and 2 brands of CD media. Barring a 'lemon', I doubt you'd go wrong with the NEC.
