from the above link, 3rd one from the top is the Taiyo Yuden That's CD at 48X, price at 2112 (2218 in red) yen.

The 2nd one from the bottom is also Taiyo Yuden That's CD at 40X, price at 1600 (1680 in red) yen.

what is the difference between these 2, besides the speed? As the price difference is double.

Aside from the rated speed, the more expensive ones are only 650MB. According to TY's shop, those older ones are rated at only 32x.

No, the 3rd one from the top is the blue color one w/ the white background. And the bottom one is the sort of mono color one -- blue print w/ the white background

Ah, I just searched on price. According to this, the more expensive ones have a ceramic coating.
