It's pretty cool technology. I don't have a lightscribe myself (just bought a new pioneer DVD/DL burner instead of one w/ lightscribe). One thing to think about: price of lightscribe media. Currently even lightscribe CDs are pretty expensive. DVD lightscribe media, well I'm not even sure, I have yet to see it, but I'm sure it exists by now (it didn't when the drives first came out) and I'm sure it's very expensive.
