FWIW as part of a series of tests I ran over the past week to try to isolate problems I'm having with my new 32x CDRW I just burned about 40 of the Kodak Ultima 80min CDRs with varying amounts of data (from none to 700MB) at 32x and every single one passed verification. On the other hand ALL of the more than a dozen Mitsui Gold 80min CDRs to which I attempted to write more than 650MB of data at speeds above 12x subsequently failed verification (this unit is a repackaged Sanyo mechanism). I'd be interested to hear anyone else's experience with burning non Red Book compliant CDR sessions to this previously unimpeachable media, but my point is that various drives seem to like or dislike certain media irrespective of their quality (presumably due to firmware media table issues I guess...).
