New DVD Burner...Which to buy ???

Hi all...Well gunna be getting into the 360 soon,cant wait.And what i have learnt so far i will need a dvd reader taken apart to allow me to put a disc in it.This means i need a second dvd reader.So i am actually gunna buy a new writer.
On my favourite discs site SVP they are selling the Pioneer 111 for around £24.
At the mo i have the Pioneer 108 sat in my PC and it has worked fine for quite some time now.

My question is has anybody got a Pioneer 111 and is it any good.
Or what would anybody sugest..

My 108 is gunna become the Xbox 360 reader and the new burner is going in the PC...

Yes mate, I am using the Pioneer 111. I have not had any problems at all with it when backing up movies, games, etc, and the quality is the usual Pioneer standard .. I have used the Pioneer brand DVD Burners, since they were first introduced, and have never had any problems with them. I haven't done much ' Dual Layer ' burning with them, but what few I have done were OK ;)

My first DVD Burner cost nearly £300

£300........Bloody hell....I thought nearly £200 was tops when i bought my first one...

Right so i recon the Pioneer 111 will be winging it's way to me soon....
£24 is a much better price...Mind you that aint all thats changed when it comes to backing up DVD movies....I can remember when it took several processes and 10 hours to do 1 movie.....
And now with "Super Clone DVD" its under 20 mins......

Used Super Clone DVD a few times now and it seems very good and easy to use..
There is no need to rip the entire movie to the HD then shrink it then burn it.
Pop in an original movie,run the app and after a very short time the movie is ready to burn..
Not used it to burn with yet....I still love my Dolly The Sheep for that job...
