I get Pioneer
As I said, buy whichever is being sold for less. They are the same components.

I get Pioneer
Now set your diode at 750mW and document the runtime.
:beer:
You got that right StridAst, 700mW+ is definitely something to brag about. For some reason I am reminded of the GHz race between AMD and Intel some 10 years ago... AMD finally reached 1GHz with their Athlon CPU and everyone was excited. Then Intel limped in behind them with their 1GHz offering that everyone laughed at because of its insane cooling requirements.
Back on Pioneers and Plextors, I took the cover off of my Pioneer drive and the first thing I noticed was that there was no shielding or shroud of any kind covering the sled optics and electronics. The sled is completely exposed! Once I get home I will take a picture as this was unexpected. It definitely makes diode extraction easier as I don't even have to remove the sled to get the diode out. It's right up front in plain view.

Maybe it's me, but the only processors that I recall having insane cooling requirements are the AMD's. They all run way hotter than Intel. Hell, on my buddies old PC you could literally fry an egg with that thing.
Also, who has the last laugh now? Intel's have 6 cores, AMD's simply fail.
