  I'm not sure about 3.5" disks, but the disks for 5.25" weren't
any different that I know of.  Before my Amiga I had a venerable
C64, because I ran a BBS I bought a SFD 1.2meg drive.  The drive
would only format cheap disks, I bought a ten pack of high density
5.25" and the drive gave me format errors.  I do know that the 
3.5" disks have some physical difference, but this sounds like a
marketing ploy, no clue.
