Choosing between DW1650 and 1655

Hi friends,
I'm planning to buy a new benq drive to my pc. Inasmuch as I'm not interested to Lightscribe feature, choosing between 1650 and 1655 what is the best solution ? I'm going to use it with -r discs, and my interest is to obtain the better writing quality. Should I wait the DW1670 even if I 'll not have the quality scan function ?
Does anyone can suggest me something ?
Thanks

Re: Choosing between DW1650 and 1655

Hi
Personally I'd go with the BenQ 1650. If you don't want/need LS then the only reason to get the 1655, is if the 1650 is not available to you.
The 1670 looks to be a good drive, but I'd only consider it, if I was going to use a lot of DL discs. (sneaky edit: Reads/writes to RAM discs. I bet pinto2 won't notice this subtle mod. )Which at current costs is a no.

DW1670 also supports DVD-RAM burning, if anyone ever needs that.

Hi
pinto2,
I've got three drives that support RAM writing. Despite actually buying some discs late last year, never used it.
SL media is so cheap I use these, when backups are updated, the old ones get recycled.
So you can see I've developed a blind spot when it comes to RAM.

Re: Choosing between DW1650 and 1655

Thanks to all, I'm not going to use DL discs and neither RAM ones.
Not a matter of money, but writing only good -r discs (MCC 03RG20 and TYG02) at 8x, I only want the less errors possible and then to have the possiblity of check them.
Under this point of view, I guess there's not high difference between 1650 and 1655.
Thanks
