Sega CD Model 1 or 2? Which to choose?

[Mod_Man_Extreme]

I was hoping you guys would recommend the Model 1 due to its smexyness.

Does the model 1 even break down under heavy gaming?

Not really but the drives are fragile as hell and tend to break or even shatter in shipping like mine did.

Especially so.

Damn it, you got in ahead of me this time, but next time..............

Ah well. I guess I head for a model 2 SCD then. Thanks for all the input guys. You rock!

Yeah, he's a real challenge to beat most of the time.

Having both, everyone is pretty much right on the money.

Model 1's aren't that hard to fix, not if you like doing that kind of thing at least.

Model 2 for gaming, Model 1 for....just super sexyness.

get both. but if you cant...
pretty much if what everyone has been saying... if you have money and technical know how get a model 1. If you arent looking for an adventure get a model 2. Actually, my main consideration would be is your genesis a model 1 or model 2. I really dislike model 1 Genesis with Model 2 SCD. It just doesnt flow right for me.

When I hear "heavy gaming" I imagine someone yanking the tray out repeatedly, swapping games faster than the eye can see! My Model 1 looks so sleek and powerful...
