Good deal on TDK 4X DVD+Rs (burn at 8X on Plex708/TDK 840G)

Best Buy is having a sale this week (starting Sun.) - $120 for a 100 pack of the TDK 4X DVD+Rs on a spindle. They are Ricohjpn r0102 discs, but I have had superb experience with them on my TDK 840G (an OEMed Plextor 708A).
-Every- one of these discs burns at a 'true' 8X (8 min burn time), with no coasters. Other discs with similar disc IDs (like Arita, Memorex) I have not had as good success with... especially the Aritas - which hardly ever burn at true 8X (they usually drop down to 4X near the end of the disc - if they burn successfully at all).
My guess is that TDK is actually manufacturing these discs and although all these Ricoh discs share the same media code, the TDKs have better quality control.
A hot deal all around. Check your Sunday flier for details.
