Is there any advantage to using Philips 1660 firmware (the drives use the same chipset right?)
It is indeed possible to xflash Benq 1650 to Philips 1660 and vice versa. BTDT.
Latest versions of Benq and Philips firmware support the same media, the tables gained with MCSE are identical. I don't know if Philips firmware will be better or worse, that is something you'll have to find out for yourself. But one thing is for sure: you will lose scanning capabilities with Philips firmware (Ok, it scans, but only at 1x or so)
