The reason is that what matters is the ACCURATERIP match. If you receive an ACCURATERIP match when you rip, you have a bitperfect rip. It won't be any *more* bitperfect just because you use a top 10 drive. Having a couple of different drives is important, because it is true that sometimes a CD that won't rip well on one drive will rip on the other.
