Datawrite Titanium vs RiDisc 16X Speed DVD+R

This next set of tests is between 2 popular 16x speed DVD+R discs
DataWrite Titanium PRODISCR04 & RiDisc Purple top CMCMAGM01

I have burnt both these medias in 10 different 16x speed drives and below you can see a comparison of my results. I have indicated which burn of the two I consider to be the best by comparing the graph results side by side.
