Purchased this to replace a Sony, and I also used to have three different Pioneer models. This is by far the best DVD burner I have used. It cost less than $59 and after a year of use, I still do not have a single coaster. Unlike some burners, I do not have to worry about buying a specific DVD brand for this burner, it burns all of them pretty fast (16x or above). BTW, the firmware is still the same since I bought it (no upgrade).
