What is DVD-RAM?

I ordered a DVD-RW writer, and after a few days discovered that the store don't have the model I ordered in stock (I ordered LG GSA H10A). Instead of the missing model, the store offers me another model for the same price (Sony DWQ 120A), that can be shipped immediately. I compared the technical specs of the two models and discovered that the only difference is that the missing model supports DVD-RAM, and the replacement doesn't. The problem is, I don't know what DVD-RAM is, and how important it is to the common home-user. So the question is:

(1) What is DVD-RAM?

(2) Is it important to the home user?

(3) Should I accept the replacement, or wait for the original one to become available again?

There is never a good time to buy a new computer.

Personally I am not a big fan of substitutions when I order something.  I tend to be a bit fearful of the getting someone else's refurbished return.  

That being said, DVD-RAM is basically just another technology choice.  When it comes to DVD writing, you have DVD+R, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM.  DVD-RAM is probably better for doing critical backups as it has error correction, but for basic use I doubt that lack of  DVD-RAM is really going to bother you that much.  Also, I believe that the blank media is a bit more expensive than regular blank DVD's.

If the store can tell you that the drive is new (not refurb) and it is bundled with software that is as good as the drive you initially ordered, it might be worth buying.
