The new DVD engravers from Pioneer

Pioneer has announced its sixteenth generation of DVD engravers.
The DVR-116D (PATA) and DVR-216D (SATA) are able to engrave DVD +-R at 20x, the double-layer at 12x and the DVD-RAM at 5x.
We were, for a long time, unconditional fans Pioneer engravers, however we have since become disenchanted. The last models which we have tested, had a quoted speed of 18x, however they were slower than other products announced to engrave at 16x.
Let us hope that the company has since made an effort.
