I read something once, that appeared to me the biggest difference in speed for cards was downloading them to a computer and that the speed from camera to card was not as great. They tested quite a few different cards in the test.
I think my cards are even cheaper. They're both Transcend Class 10 16Gb cards. They work fine for RAW only. And I'm running out of space for my card dumps. I really need to be choosier when it comes to keeping RAW images. I dump test shots and shots that I know are useless, but I keep the rest. Many are practically dupes of shots, so I could save space that way. Dave is right, we'll need 100TB hard drives in the not-so-distant future.
