Summary: Any experience with 'Opus' disks?

[]

Several people posted evaluations of disk brands according to whether their
single-sided disks work properly when used as double-sided.  I would not
judge a brand by that.  If the SS disks work DS it only means that they
sell more SS disks than they have that failed the DS test, so they sell
SS disks that where tested (hopefully) on one side only.  (Or it could
mean that their disks are so good they don't need testing. Could that be?)

Recently 'Opus' brand disks (manufactured in Ohio "under Sony license")
appeared here, at _very_ cheap prices ($0.69 for SS, $0.99 DS on sale).
Does anybody know if they are any good?
