Sorry but I can be of no help. When I purchased our Panasonic FS90 SVHS recorder some years ago I bought a heap of SE180 Panasonic S tapes. However I was disappointed with them - more drop outs than standard TDK or Maxell and the broadcast quality of material being taped looked no better on S tape than on quality normal tapes so I've never bothered with them since.
However if making tapes of live material to be duplicated I concede S-VHS tape would be advantageous. When last in the USA I thought I saw S tapes available at a "Best Buy" store - TDKs from memory.
I've been satisfied with the better TDK lines for all our taping and the use of standard tapes has the advantage of ease of use in any recorder. However I do not regret purchase of the S recorder as it gives excellent results with good quality tape.
BTW I have tried Sony's tapes, both standard and higher quality, but judge them inferior to TDK.
