Help finding Compatable Memory for the New Raspberry pi 2-B "Class 10 16gb sd cards"

I require x12 16gb class 10 Micro SD Cards for my New Raspberry Pi 2B Boards. I need to confirm the cards iIm going to source out and purchase will in fact work for me. Can anyone help me out here? My Kingston 8gb micro sd class 10 cards are not large enough for the image file I have for openelec with all the addons and repositores. So I had a few The Source Canada (radioshack in the us) 16gb cards and they work great. But i need to buy a dosen or more and want to keep the price as low as I can.

Thank you to those whom took the time to respond in advance.

The RasPi Hardware Wiki has a long list of SD cards that work or don't on various RasPi models: http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

Since this is an Element14 site I don't want to dis them. The best price I've found (<$10US) is on the largest online retailer named after the largest South American river. I'm a bigot when it comes to NAND flash, as there are so many ways to make it cheaper by lowering the quality. Single channel cards die when that channel bollixes up. Multiple channel cards are much better, and not that much more expensive. QC when manufacturing NAND is a big deal.
That said, I pretty much stick with SanDisk, Sony, or Kingston. I found several cards that fit price/brand/capacity/speed parameters at that online retailer.
I'd suggest that you might look at 32GB cards also. This is the current de facto "standard" in NAND flash, so the price can sometimes be lower, due to manufacturer volume.

As John says; there is a long list. All the SanDisk 16 & 32GB SDHC, Class 10 (UH-1) cards are stated as "OK".

Make sure you buy from a reputable seller. There are lots of counterfeit SanDisk and other SD cards on the market. If the price seems too good to be true, you'll probably get your money's worth
