I'll take 4 Grace pres any day over 4 SD pres.  JMO 
plus w/ 2 units it's twice the transfer = hassle

$6000 vs $2500 makes the choice pretty easy for me.  And lugging the gear around a lot easier, too.  Two pieces as opposed to five. With redundancy I always have a recorder that works.  And if I want to record two separate sessions, two channel, at the same time in different venues at the same hall I can.  I just lke the flexibility, redundancy and simplicity.

As for the xfer, well, hook up one fire wire or hook up two.  How hard is that? 

I am having good luck with the SD pre's.  Possibly the Grace is better.  I have never ABX'ed them so I cannot say.

As I said: six tapers; twelve opinions.

I think you mean

744     4k
v2 x2  1400
------------
5400  (3 pieces not 5)

722 x 2
---------
5k  (2 pieces)


not much of a difference $$ wise IMO.  Take out the 2nd v2 (which you really don't need to run the 744) and it's cheaper than 2.

As for lugging gear?  :shrugs:  a 744 and 2 v2's weigh nothing to me.  Me strong like bull!
