I take it you're saying that the LiteOn LH-020A1L-05 would be better than the Optiarc AD-7201S-0B for scanning. Or would you say they're equally good for that. What about as a burner? Still the LiteOn over the Optiarc?
The 7200 scans without jitter and it's results aren't totally comparable with Benq or LiteOn results, however it's a decent CD scanner most likely. The 20A1L should be a good scanner at 4x on DVDs, but it's worthless for scanning CDs. The NEC would be good for TRTs also while LiteOns tend to be worthless for TRTs.
