I realize that most media now works up to 8x, 10x, or 12x.  But I'd imagine
that media rated for 32x will be significantly more expensive--new media
types always are.

I don't think the difference between 16x and 32x will be great enough to
justify the cost of the media--for theis paritulcar purpose.  In most cases,
I'd argue that 4x would be fine for what we're doing--so long as we have
enough notice before the CDs are needed.  I have a 4x burner and am burning
a lot today--while I do other things.

Granted, if a large number are needed in a crunch, then 20x v.s 2x or 4x
will make a big difference.
