I too have the px-708a & its probably the best one out there, of course if you do your homework, you will see some of it's problems, but, ALL repeat ALL drives do have there little quirks. When they first came out Plextor had a bad batch, make sure the TLA is #0103. because the bad one's were TLA 0001 or 2 if I remember correctly. I got a TLA #0103 so I was one of the lucky ones. You say the price is around 159.00pounds inc VAT.That's not to bad of a price, here in Canada I got the Plextor for 269.00cdn plus 7%gst & 8%pst yepper 15% tax so the price came ot about $310.00 give or take a few cents. You can get cheaper drives, but I do believe Plextor make a quality drive, but you pay for it too. I was lucky I got mine on sale, a lot of us here in Canada payed over $400.00cdn for this baby, in fact as I type this out I looked at a web site & the price is NoW $369.00 plus the 15% tax & the px-708uf is $499.00 plus $75.00 dollars in tax, WOW, I was lucky to get mine on sale. Is the Plextor worth that much money, only yer wallet knows for sure.Good luck in making a wise purchase, yer half way there now.Also remember the Px-708a likes expensive media so put that into your thoughts as well.So when Discs go on sale start buying.I have used TDK dvd+r 4x & Fuji dvd-&+R & Verbatim dvd/rw all with no coasters, lucky me.
