Thanks for the feedback. I understand the selling point of the SSD3 but I'm a glutton for punishment and got a Duo-R for a reason to play actual discs. I'm not necessarily interested in having every single game but a curated list of them and be able to try them out via CD-R before taking the plunge. I just figured repro discs would be "better" for reading and for my system's laser than a CD-R I burn myself. As an engineer I'm familiar with electronics but not necessarily the minute details of CD drives and particularly the diodes/lasers and how different quality media may impact them.

CD-Rs can cause a slight increase in diode and motor operation time, but there's no evidence they actually have a material impact on the life of the console. Buy good quality discs an keep an eye on how your system responds to them. If you use your Duo you're wearing it down. If it sits unused it's being worn down. The best we can do is keep them repaired and healthy as long as we can.
