Not sure, but a couple of thoughts that might help. Are you planning on printing on labels to the DVDs? That’s light scribe option Samsung.  The mistake I made on my purchase was lack of any ram built in and I am drawing a blank but is it the 1st number in the 4 digit set?  If so I might consider that.  lastly from brand history of personal experience or torture however viewed, I have been very happy with Asus for the they support products for a long time and their help line is more like a smaller company and they have helped me in the past more than I can say for most company's.
