I believe I've also heard that Supra-100 is mostly 
a minor rework of one of their older films -- Ektar, 
maybe?  The faster Supra films are supposedly new 
formulations.

In any case, I stick with ISO 100 mostly for my 
landscape photography, and wasn't that interested 
in "faster" -- just better.
