Is it better to have two Pioneer BDR 209-DBKs or one Pioneer BDR 209-DBK and one LG BU40N? I have a limited budget and have to decide between one of these two options.

Your decision. The Pioneer will rip hard to read discs while thr BU40 will rip faster when there is no problem to read the disc. 209 can be flashed to read UHDs as well. I personally would go with the Pioneers and flash both for UHD.
