Yes. Prodiscs03 is a lot better than VDSPMSAB 01 and Yi Jhan 01. Yi Jhan 01 is slightly better than VDSPMSAB 01.
Hey guys, Just got the new drive today (replacement in just 4 business days) and it’s working perfectly so far (crosses fingers)
Burned a few ps2 games and a few dvd movies, everything seems to be fine, no skipping or anything.
My faith for Benq has gone up a bit! hopefully it won’t crap out on me again.
THanks to everyone’s help and comments!
great to hear all worked out, and thanks for the update 
Some ps2 machines will be picky with dvd+/-r.
the most solid method is bitset your dvd+r to dvd-rom before burning/backup of ps2 images.
Aside from that, images downloaded from net may not be full working games, nor proper ntsc/pal format.
I have a 822a B3IC, all my burned ps2 dvds are playable (using cheap pine dvd+r bitset to dvd-rom).
If you’re going to test functionality of a burner, don’t test it with ps2 games as you’re just adding more confusion into your deductive process. stick to pc data.
