Bruce,
If someone could spring for the extra bucks for a Pioneer 604X, would you
recommend it for non-professional use?
I'm heavily into genealogy, and plan to buy several different CD-ROM based
databases (SSN, death, etc.). I'm wondering if it would be worth $800-900
extra to me (on the minimizing annoyances scale) to have 6 such disks loaded,
and not have to futz with changing them. And, I'm wondering how the extra speed
would rate on my anti-annoyance scale. But, since I have no experience with
single drives nor multiples, I can only wildly guess.
Would it be worth it to you, based on your experience with single and
multiple-disk drives?
I know I would spring for the 604X if I did this all day long, but I only do it
for a few hours a couple of times a week. So, I cannot justify the extra cost
for productivity reasons.
David
