Well I think the handling of CD's is pretty much the same whether or not you use a caddy vs drawer type CD drives. In fact, it is probably easier to scratch a CD usig a caddy, unless you have a caddy for each CD. The handling of any disc medium is important no matter what it is. I certainly don't grab the CD between my fingers when I'm removing in from my CD player, but on the edge's. Same as on my old collection of LP's. Most of them are as good as the day I bought them some 20 years ago. So until someone can come up with a sound technical reason why caddy CD players are better than the drawer type, I'll stick to my reasoning that it was a "standard" forced down the customers throat.
