A bit imprecise, that!

Define performance (what are YOUR priorities?).

Life is just more of the same:

If you had to make a choice of which one to get since they are fairly new drives.

I would say sony is the best out of the two becuase it has probably got a larger cache (8mb) but Pioneer 107 is the fastest dvd burner and if Pionner release a firmware update to burn dual layer that will be an advantaged. I would serious wait until a daul layer burner is out.

AMD Athlon 2000XP
MSI Mother Board
1024MD DIMMS 2700rpm Unbranded
60GB Western Digital 7200rpm
Pioneer A03
Litreon DVD Rom
Cyber Drive 32x 12x 48x
64MB Geforce Ti 2
5.1 Sound Blaster

I'd take the Plextor over the Sony any day. A 2MB cache is in no way a handicap, I went from a Sony DRU-500A (8MB cache) to the Plextor PX-708A (2MB cache) with absolutely no difference in performance. The Pioneer 107 has 2MB cache as well.

The Plextor is a higher quality and wonderfully performing drive.

Nephilim thanks for your reply I figured the Plextor was a favorite to many. =)
