    Best price I have seen £190 but is it worth paying the extra for it?

    Well 104 is 2x(about 30 minutes to copy full dvd) and 105 4x (about 15 minutes to copy full dvd! You decide if you need the extra speed.
    Also bear in mind 4x media is more expensive

    I'd go for the 105 mate. I know media for 4x is expensive at the moment but it won't be for long. You'll probs regret getting the 2x when media falls in price and you have the 2x drive!

    All valid answers but just making me more unsure whether to wait a little longer maybe the drives will either drop in price or the spec go up decisions desisions
