I love my BenQ1640 as a burner but have bought a Liteon 1693S simply to do the scans. when scanning new burns there is little to choose between then BenQ and the Liteon.

Looking at poorer quaility media burned 1 or 2 or even 3 years ago I have found that the BenQ gives impossible readings ( off the scale) while the Liteon shows that the disks are bad but still playable.

As all of these disks are in fact still playable and not the coasters that the BenQ would suggest I have concluded that the Liteon is giving me more accuarate results.
