 I'm kind of curious about this.  As I noted, the MEI disks that I 
encountered were purchased about two years ago.
Someone on the net noted that MEI disks he had been purchasing were
blue, but they had switched to grey and he had nothing but bad ones.
Bulk Sony's are generally Blue.  But I do have some Red & Yellow.

 The MEI disks I encountered were grey colored.  So it's quite
possible that they are shipping unbranded Sony's.

 But one wonders where they get them from...  I once purchased some
disks from a company that appeared to be disks thrown out by WordPerfect.
The original WP labels had been covered over.  Why did WP throw them
out?  How did this company get them?

 Are the MEI disks the same exact disks that other's sell for slightly
more?  Or did they get them some other way?
