It ain't mine, but damn, if I had the dough it'd be really nice to run with a V3!

96kHz wouldn't really do much good with it rolling tape @ 2 times speed. Maybe if you always ran 3 hour tapes (and if it would play nicely with the 90m DDS tapes), but it seems that for most bands, an hour and a half of tape doesn't do you much good. There will be always be a tape change.
