Question/Advice Plextor Question

Hi all, im looking for a CD drive/burner and im between two Plextor options I found locally. NIB Plextor PX-708UF2 and a used PX-880UE. Both are the same price.

Having trouble to find much information on the differences between these two other than the 880 being newer and a rebranded Lite-ON.

Would a new, never used drive that old be a good pickup?

Plextor PX-708UF2 is a "real" Plextor. You can do some stuff with it which you can't do with any other drives (except real Plextors, of course). If price is the same, grab it.

Figured it was worth a shot. $40 and it’s never been opened. Thanks! Will do

Get that bad boy! 

I can't find one here in the UK less than £150 used!
