16x is the future, but 8x is here now, the thing is if you have 8x media and a 8x burner I would burn at 4x just to be safe, but on the other hand, if you only have 4x media/burner then i would only burn @ 2x
plextor is one of the best I could recommend, but it will cost more than than your overpriced sony
why are so reluctant to purchase a nec, all the reviews are great
