True, unless you consider the number of dropouts a quality difference :)

Also, there are some editing systems that don't recognize the extended play
tapes.

As for tape stock, well, my experience has been the opposite! I buy Sony's
first, then Fuji, TDK and Panasonic. I usually go to www.TapeResources.com,
but anyone who breaks the $3.00/tape price has my business! I use about 300+
tapes a year, one time only record.
