Looking at their specs, Lexar is 150MB/s read, 145MB/s write, whereas the Transcend is 60MB/s read, 30MB/s write... Write speed is extremely important, and Lexar is 4x+ quicker...

tonylong ...winded  More info | Oct 08, 2013 06:11 | #11 Get the best you can afford! Not just for in-camera performance, but it makes a big difference if you get a good/fast card reader in downloading GBs of data to your computer! Tony

TeamSpeed 01010100 01010011  More info | If you use both card slots, you won't be able to realize your full potential of the CF speeds. The SD slot is "crippled" to slower speeds (non-UHS), slowing down any UDMA7 CF as well if you write to both. So getting the absolute best of both CF and SD may not really be helpful. Your SD goes no faster than 133x, I believe. Past Equipment | My Personal Gallery

Again, the price difference is not enough t be concerned about. Get the absolute best & fastest when it comes to memory cards and readers. No, I never claimed to be outstanding in the field of photography. I said I was out standing in the field taking photos.
