Digital recorders with an internal hard-drive are magnificent . Especially when you can quick connect your notebook straight to the usb cable. 16-bit will give you an amazing crisp recording. Another nice feature is the CD/R, if you connect your notebook straight to the unit, you probably won't use this feature as much, but good to have if you take the unit to practice, set up a few mics and analyze your session.. that's where the CD/R will come in handy. Burn out a CD to listen to on the ride home. One feature I wish digital recorders would have, I don't think any recorder have a zip-stick input. That'd make life even easier.
I'm curious how the drum and bass sampler do.
I think you made a good choice and can't wait to hear bunches of recordings from you
