This is by far the best recording unit IMO, as it runs on a single AA battery instead of a proprietary, underpowered, and overpriced gum stick battery.
This was my deck before my R-09. You can't beat the A>D (and overall sound quality for 16-bit/44.1khz) and size/battery usage anywhere close to that price level.
However, it does not retain your settings (AGC is on by default, for instance, and you have to go through multiple menus to turn it off), there's no backlight (may not be a problem for you), and 1 GB = 94 min of PCM audio, which means you're going to either be changing discs at least once for most shows (and that's just for the main act), or using a compressed format, which is frowned upon in the taping world. I also hate the software with a passion, despite improvements made since I was using it. It is incredibly slow as compared to R-09 over USB 2, for which no additional software is required, just drag and drop.
Honestly, I know the R-09 is more expensive, but I would just save your money for it, as it is superior in every way to the MD and really isn't that much more. I've taped 3 shows with mine now and would never go back!
