I need a P48 all-in-one that I can connect to some mics, leave in the venue for 6hrs, and come back. I assume that it'll be connected via wall wart, so battery life is not an issue for this purpose.
For my purposes, it appears the DR-40 and DR-100mkII are pretty similar except the DR-100mkII has a (finicky) digi-in, and the DR-40 does not. The DR-100mkII has the (finicky) "dual battery" system and the DR-40 does not. The DR-40 claims 15hr batt life on 3xAA, which I assume is more like 3hrs with P48.
It seems to me that the DR-40 is the better choice for what I'm doing, unless I'm missing some advantage the DR-100mkII has.
Thoughts?
