It's a bit like the sport top syndrome, you can choose to pay a premium price for the luxury of advertising, (i.e. wearing), a branded/logod spots top...

It's true. Both CD/DVD media and flash cards are made by a relatively small number of manufacturers. There is a wide variation in quality of CD and DVD media. I'm not so sure that is true of flash cards. But if you pay more, you get higher read/write speeds.

I would not expect Jessops cards to match the best. The latter tend to be high speed, which is where the cost lies.
