You can do better on the price, especially if you only need 2X. Check out dealmac for deals, or I like Meritline.com, they have a combo pack that you can try different brands all at once. I have bought 3 different brands at different times from there, and had no problems at all. The only problems I have had is some of the brands from office supply stores (hypermedia, maxell, some fuji). I have tried verbatim, and didn't have many problems, but I do remember not having 100% success either.
