EDIT:
Ok so I am about ready to pull the trigger, and I wanted to ask peoples opinions of where I should buy it.
Is there a particular online retailer that people prefer to purchase the 7 series from? What are some of your experiences? Does anyone give any extra incentive to buy from them?
I also have 2 local retailers that will sell it to me for the same price as online.
What do you all think?

Hey Folks,
It looks like my AKGs are gonna sell, so I am about ready to make the move to the SoundDevices 7xx. I would like peoples opinions on which way to go. I will never use the full 40Gigs of harddrive with the 722, and I have heard that the 702 burns way less battery power. I have about 24Gigs of Flash memory right now, and it is very cheap to get more.
Are there any issues with the 702 with certain flash cards? (To my knowledge all other CF recorders have issues with certain cards)
The only real benefit I see the 722 is the fact that you can record to the harddrive and back that up with flash, if I am correct. Another factor is that I would be buying the 722 used, or the 702 new.
Please share opinions, thoughts, and such.
Thanks,
Joe
