In the interests of providing only accurate information on this list, do you have a source for the claim that Gold as a reflective layer and Phthalocyanine as a dye is NOT better than the cheaper materials? Every penny counts to the bottom line. I'd seriously love to be able to use cheap discs from Staples for more than temporary backup storage. The only thing that I can find about Gold& Phthalocyanine discs on Wilhelm Research's pages is what appears to be a press release claiming better longevity of the Gold discs put out by one of the sellers of those discs. While it is possible, absence of easily accessible data either way, doesn't automatically mean that Mitsui and Delkin's marketing claims are hype any more than it means that they are proven.
