IMO, there's nothing finicky on the Sony. It's a very well made unit.
I'm still of the view that the OP would benefit from using the Sony to record directly off the soundboard. Put it in his pocket, take it home, plug it into Audacity, download the file, apply a little compression, boost the playback speed just a bit (unless he's dealing with unusually fast talkers), and then carefully choose his settings for exporting the file for upload to the internet. After doing it three or four times, then the settings will be pretty routine, and the whole edit process will go very, very quickly.
Audacity is free, easy to use and it works well. The Sony can be had for $200-$230 new. The battery life is so good that with new batteries every Sunday, there's no worry of losing a recording. Or an external power supply can be added.
