This is just a theoretical question as I don't know too many people with an extra $1000 laying around. Feel free to give your reasons.

I think I'm going to go with Dolph's answer. Any BenQ/Philips design is fine with me. If for some reason the BenQ, LiteON, or Philips drives aren't using a Philips chipset, then I'd go for the Pioneer. I just get the impression that they make decent really new drives.

Heck, I'd want one that at least handled CD's.

Maybe around Christmas 2006 ?
Along with its built-in robotics and full-color direct-to-disc inkjet printing, the Bravo XR-Blu incorporates Pioneer Electronics (USA), Inc.’s new BDR-101A Blu-ray Disc/DVD Recorder. Blu-ray enabled recording software based on technology from Sonic Solutions®, the leader in Digital Media Software, is included to provide a complete and professional Blu-ray Disc publishing solution.
The initial release of the Bravo XR-Blu utilizes single-layer discs to store up to 25 gigabytes of data. An upgrade will be available shortly after launch that will allow dual-layer media, which stores up to 50 gigabytes of data per disc.
