New DVD Software - Corel vs Sonic

I noticed this with my W510 and it is also true on the W520. The DVD burning software is now Corel with WinDVD player being branded Corel so it looks like they sold it. The burning software differences between the age-old Sonic stuff which I'd grown used to vs. the Corel is that the Corel is just clumsy in its UI. Plus it does not give control over burn speed, and it does not have a compare option. These seem to be pretty big gaps. Has anyone else used this and comment?

On the W510 I found and downloaded the entire Sonic package, but I'm not going to do it on the W520.
