So far, I have had very good success with the T-Y disks. I think we only 
had one defective disk in about 500 or so.

We primarily burn these on Plextor drives, and haven't received any 
complaints from clients about reliability or compatibility of the media.

I have less experience with the DVD+R disks, although of the ones we've 
done using the T-Y disks, there have been no rejects.
