IMO, if you buy a DVD writer that will also function as a CD writer (you don't have another CD-RW besides it), the CR writing speeds are more important since I think you'll find yourseld burning more CDs than DVDs because of the price per GB.

I'll never consider buying this overprice Plextor drive. Currently LiteOn 4x DVD+RW burner costs ~$140. When LiteOn will release 8x DVD+RW burner, it will cost ~$150.
