Advice on CD-R purchase


I am ready to take the plunge into the wonderful world of CD burning. I have been researching the different models and their pro's and con's. I think I have settled on an HHB CDR-850 or a Fostex CR-300. Has anybody purchased one of these units? I am looking to get a good deal on a new one (I know-who isn't) or even a used one in good condition. Ebay is out of the question--the bids go way higher than most dealers will sell for. Can anybody recommend a dealer or know of a used pro audio classified site. Thanks for any help.

Mouse: You can get an HHB player from Uncles Stereo in NYC via mail order. I have one and It works great. It can bypass SCMS and you can use regular computer (cheaper) discs. It only works at 1X speed, but it does work well and is of good quality. I think the unit is actually made by Pioneer to HHB specs. HHB stuff is generally well regarded. My recollection is that I paid either $1,050 or 1,150 for the unit, new, plus shipping ABye
