Getting an 8x, concerned about harvesting.

Hey all,

So I have finally saved up enough to purchase one, and only one, BDR-203 drive. I am well versed in extracting phr's and LG 22x's, but my main concern is in my ability to extract this diode with out any issues. Is the heat sink in the BDR-203 comparable to the phr? (extremely brittle and easy to remove). any words of advice?
