wellllll i own all three now.. i have lite on a3 (2 of them), a 203b a 203n, and a pioneer 212... imo the lite on cant burn nearly as well as the 203 or 212 can. the 212 seems to be great for reading bad discs and dl burns.. but the sammy has HONESTLY burned all but the most garbage media i have thrown at it, the lite on would not burn half the media the sammy did.. imo the best all around would be the sammy.. i like the pioneer for scratched and bad media for reading (the sammy does pretty well though)... the lite on imo is good for scanning, or i would not have it in my rig.. sorry to say that

i like the 203b so much i just ordered another as a spare
