I also found this interesting review.

I think I would also go for the Pioneer Cammy linked to.

I will second that Simon, I have been using the Pioneer 106 for a while now and its working ok for me  8)

It would appear that this new model by Pioneer isn't as good as the previous one.

Lona, I would either go for that one, despite the review in the hope that a firmware upgrade will resolve the problems at a later date :

To sum it all up, this is the best we could say: ?A fast DVD-Writer that needs a lot of firmware improvements?. And we do not feel that this drive deserves any awards, due to the problems it has.

Or, get the 4x 106, which will possibly have dropped in price now due to it being an older model.
You will be pleasantly surprised at the difference in speed of CD writing compared to your current CD writer and at the moment 8x DVD blanks are a bit like rocking horse sh*t and are likely to be expensive compared to 2x and 4 x DVDs.

Seeing that your main use for having a DVD writer will be to presumably put a few DivX/Xvid films on a single DVD, now that you have bought a proper DVD player, then you will probably be writing at 2x anyway to make sure that you get the best burn to be able to playback on your DVD player

Sandra, will you stop giving away my secrets.

Looking at the comments of the review here i would still go with the 107 as it is only about £2 more than the 106 now   and the newest ones have the revised firmware with them
