Can someone here suggest a rockin' Dual Layer DVD Burner?

Newegg for once is not giving me any results, typing DL, or Dual Layer or any iteration of it, get's me nothing but huge lists of burners.
Unfortunately, not all of the DVD Burners listed (In fact, most), aren't DL at all, and the vast majority of the ones that are listed, are external.
So yeah, if someone has good experience with an internal dual layer burner, i'd really appreciate any suggestions you may have.

There is an option for DVD+R DL speed on the search. For example, 16x, the highest speed, nets these:

I did not know that you could get a non-DL DVD burner these days.

I don't get it though, it doesn't say "Dual layer" any where in any of the descriptions on those burners. I guess I'm just supposed to assume all newer burners have DL capabilities?

And apparently newegg doesn't have a single Dual Layer Sata Burner in stock. Blah.

I'm using a tsstcorp SH-s202j (I think) and it is rock stable. I haven't had a coaster yet and I use the cheapest DVD+R DL media I can find.
I understand it's sometimes rebranded as a Samsung, but tsstcorp is usually cheaper for the same thing.

Look in the specifications for the DVD+R DL listing.
They do have DL SATA drives in stock:
