the Vertabim scan is better, PI Average should be low...if you look around here many get scans that are 2-3 and under which is awesome...PI Errors are errors that are correctable...PIF cant be corrected and should always be VERY low. CDFreaks got a bunch of reviews and articles you can look through to get a more in dept of what PI and PIF are.

If you are burning them with the Liteon you used to scan with you can get much better results (check my profile page) I suggest going for Official Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R also I'v included a link for a newer version of your firmware;
