Question Messiah or Magic PS2 MOD?

I currently have a few years old PS2 with a Neo 2 or 2.2 MOD and the Gameshark swap method. I want to switch to the no swap MOD such as the Messiah or Magic...which do u suggest? Which versions will work in my console? My model # is 30001. I want to copy PS2 DVD games with my A05 and PrimoDVD or RecordNow Max software. I heard that I have to buy a new PS2 console since the Neo MOD does something to the laser...is this true?
Any info would be appreciated.

The neo 2.2 modchip is not good for ur laser, if u have problems reading dvd's on it, then u should think about getting a new pre-modded ps2 with a messiah 2, if it still can read dvd's properly then get a messiah 2 professionally installed, it is well worth it.

Even if your laser appears to be ok I would still get rid of it. The Neo eats it up. Just get a new premod with a Messiah 2.

Ok, I was kinda in FantomLord's situation quite awhile ago. I ended up getting a Magic 2 mod. Since then, I've had a slew of problems. Some types of media just wouldn't work properly with my Magic 2. Some froze, while others just wouldn't load at all. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a brand new ps2 premod system with Messiah 2. But how would I go about getting rid of my old premod system? I'm not made of money after all.

If originals still work ok, take out the Magic and put it on ebay.
