Have you considered MacresQ's superdrive upgrade? You can also do a combo drive upgrade. They have a service where they dispatch a box and do the work overnight and return it to you at a very reasonable price, I think. http://www.macresq.com/store/superdrive.php I have not tried it myself yet, but I also have a Ti500 and it would be really sweet to have a SuperDrive!
