Nero or Nero Express, that is the question

[PowerMacG5]

I have the copy of Nero I got with my CD Burner (TDK VeloCD 40/12/48B) and upgraded to 5.5.8.2. I then saw on www.tweakxp.com that their was a way to make Nero load Nero Express. Not knowing what Nero Express was, my curiosity got the best of me. I tried this and the GUI was much easier to use and cleaned up. I tried burning the exact same thing with both of them, a full 700 MB CD at the 40x setting, and with Nero Express I always got 3 minutes on a full burn, and with Nero it varied between about 3 minutes and 5 seconds or 3 minutes and 15 seconds on a full burn. Now my question to all of you is whether I should stick with Nero, or if I should use Nero Express, and if their are any real benefits to using Nero Express?

Anybody have any input on this?

I believe the Express version was aimed at OEM market and is supposed to make it easier for new users to use etc,the normal Nero has more options but if you`re happy with the Express version and it does everything you want then stick with that,it does have a more easier to use interface etc.

Nero Express may have a nicer GUI, but it is a lot less powerfull program than Nero

Yeah, Nero Express is like Adaptecs' EZCD Creator. It's pretty dumbed down. It's basically a "Wizard GUI" burning program with very few choices beyond default.
