Duo R/RX systems are more CD-R friendly than the regular Duo systems.

They both use the same laser eye part -- it couldn't be any different, could it?

There is no difference. At all. There is, however, an evil rumor that states that Duo-R lasers are better than Duo ones, and that Duo-RX lasers are better than them all. Lies, all lies. They all use the very same HOP-M3 laser unit.

The only chance of them being slightly better on average is due to age - newer often means less use and stronger laser.  Otherwise, it's essentially the same guts in a different wrapper.

It most likely must have to do with a better CD controller system. This way, you get better error correction and better response from the lens. This also prevents the laser from wearing out as bad. My regular Duo's laser went out fast when playing some not so good CD-R discs. I bought two lenses to fix this problem. From here on, I am definitely staying away from bad burns.
