Umm, you totally contradicted yourself.

Be very cautious of the new NEC 3520A. It will auto change booktype for DVD+R to DVD-ROM, and there's no option to turn it off. So if your DVD player (stand alone) can't read DVD-ROM format, you're gonna have a problem.

I suggest you get either the Lite-On 167T or AOpen 1648 DVD-ROM drives for now, and wait for firmware updates on the NEC 3520A before putting money on it.

One day you say DON'T get the 3520A, rather get a LITE-ON (or AOpen). Then you decide that NEC has better burn quality than LITE-ON and thus, he should "chip in a few more dollars and get the NEC 3520A."

Which one is it?
