Is SuperDrive notably slower at CD-R/RW burning?
I'm getting a very good deal on a 15" SuperDrive PowerBook for $1999. I'm a little surprised that the CD-RW and CD-R speed on the SuperDrive are both lower than on the ComboDrive found on the 1GHz model (which I originally was going to purchase).
I guess I'm just basing my assumption that burning CD's on the SuperDrive is slower (noticably?) simply because the tech specs. suggest that by the speed numbers. I know I'll be burning CD's a lot more than using the DVD-R (which I'm still not even sure if I need the DVD-R at all but the $1999 price is so good, I figure just get it?).
So...is CD burning much slower w/SuperDrive? Is having DVD-R going to be something worth having in the long run? I guess I'm just trying to find a reason why it'd be worth having (no I don't do heavy graphics/video work in the least...so whatever apple.com raves about the SuperDrive being so useful for doesn't really apply to me).
Input? Thanks,

Just make sure this "good deal" of yours is legit.
