    HELP - Just bought a FW270 on special at Best Buy (very nice to deal with) - think I would rather have an FW285 - the only difference I can really see is the difference of being able to burn dual layer Blu's. Best Buy doesn't carry the FW285's - Amazon has them for $1385.00 - so is a Blu-ray burner upgrade from Sony available and if so do you think it would be more then $400.00? For warranty purposes I could easily swap the drives out and it would be nice to have half a spare!! What are your thoughts???

    I have 10 days left to return it to BB.


    Thanks
