Verbatim versus Lexar Compact Flash Cards

[bobbd]

I want to buy a 256 Meg compact flash card for an upcoming vacation. Both Lexar and Verbatim have rebate programs on now (although the prices are still significantly higher than in the US, sigh). According to the specs, the Lexar is about 50% faster and is $10 Cdn more. I have a Lexar MS and have had no problems.

Has anyone had experience with either or both?

Thanks in advance.
