 1640 plus: with f/w BSLB, excellent burning quality over a wide range of DVDR media, excellent peace-of-mind SB operation (I left SB on at all times with my own 1640  ).minus: @16X burning not as good as 1650/55, average to so-so CDR burner (high jitter), so-so DVDRW burner 1650/55 (50: standard / 55: same drive with lightscribe) plus: better @16X DVDR burner than 1640, better DVDR reader, better CDR burner (lower jitter), better DVDRW burner minus: lots of strange quirks with several firmwares, questionable SB operation with many MIDs (better leave SB OFF for most MIDs). Only quirk-less firmware: BCDC (50) / BCDB (55). Try buying retail vs. OEM (controversial though).
