i went with the laptop. i still think at the moment its the best bang for the buck. not only can it tape, it can track, edit, flac, and bt the source. and if you want to you can even burn a copy of the show you jsut taped for the band.
the sd722 is nice, but its not all that stealthy, i'd rather have the laptop and get more variety - not to mention the money you drop on that can be spent buying one helluva nice lappy and batts to power it. thats just me tho. i personally am hoping that something cheaper comes out that will cater to my needs.
