Benq FW-Support? Not so good like many people thought?

Hello!
Benq´s FW-support was in the past respected from many users, some people think it´s better than the FW-support from Plextor. But now I saw that the FW-support for the 1620 and 1620 Pro was almost dead (don´t talk about the popular DW800 which seems to be real dead). The last update for the 1620 was in February, for the Pro in April. But there are some new media on the way, some avaible that the Benq´s don´t support.
I was shocked when I saw that the Sony 16D1, one of the first 16 DVD-R was only supported @8x and the writing-quality isn´t good for 8x:

So what do you think? Does Benq only support the newest drives or will they release some new FW for older drives?
