I would say very much so, yes.
With branded media, you get a much better chance of knowing what grade the disc is. With Taiyo Yuden, this is LESS of a problem then with most brands... but with Verbatim, Prodisc, Optodisc, Ritek, and Moser Baer, the chances of getting B grade are quite high, so it's good to know what you're getting before hand.
