DS Flash Equipment > Sandisk Ultra II media

Does anyone have experience with Sandisk Ultra II media, specifically whether or not it is worth the price premium in terms of improved performance? From what I've read I think it depends on whether or not ROM data is buffered by the flash cart. If it helps I plan on using the card in an EZ-Flash Lite, so I guess the jury is still out on exactly how that cart is going to handle its business. Currently it looks like a 1GB MicroSD goes for US$40 or $60 depending on whether or not it's Sandisk's Ultra II variety.

Edit: Sorry, I always end up in the wrong forum for some reason. I meant to put this in the DS Flash Equipment section.

I own a 1 GB Ultra II from Scandisk. My advice to you is to order one from Don't mention retailers. Instead, ask an administrator to create a topic in Retailer Feedback about the retailer. -- MOD. I got mine for 30 dollars. The performance increase is noticable, but not overly so.
