Chris,
      The link I gave is specifically to 357's designated as being sony SR44W, 
the listed cells at bottom of the page which you may be referring to, are just 
meant to list what cells the Sony SR44 can substitute for. 

As we all know what gets listed and what you get, do not always jibe.

The same website does have quite a variety of other brands including 
Energizer,duracell,varta etc listed elsewhere, but it is not clear whether the 
energizer ones are high drain 357's or not.
