from comparing Ian's reviews, it appears that the SM-348B is the better drive.
the only advantages the 352B has are slightly faster reading/writng speeds and DVD-RAM compatibility.
the 348B seems to have better performance in some benchmarks, better media compatibility, better DVD+/-R/RW support, better with scratched CDs.
Ian, do you still have the 352B drive? if so it would be interesting to see if firmware upgrades improve the 352B.
