I've had one use for DL so far - backing up my R1 Scooby-doo Season 1
& 2 set (my boy loves them so much I couldn't see the discs lasting
more than 2 months and they cost quite a bit to get here after customs
got their paws on them)
The original is so old and quality is not so good that shrinking to
DVD5 would have lost too much IMO - DL was the only way to go....

Pioneer now have 2 x 110 models available. The 110D is the original
model which does +/- R/RW/DL and the new 110 which has added RAM to
the list to compete with the others.....
