I'd rather the hold button not be on the back, though.

Bingo. Hold switch on the back is a big bummer for use in a cell phone case. That's a big problem in my book as
that is a very important switch.Inputs on the side are not a deal breaker, but might make it harder to slide into a pocket smoothly.
The R-09 has a reverb button too, playback only, what's the big deal? Probably exactly the same.
The
speed button is new. (whaz that do?)
Built-in speaker on the back.
A lower noise preamp stage at higher gains would be welcome as would enough juice to drive 406x's directly.
The remote could be cool, but without a peak light or hold switch on it.. meh.
Wireless remote? line of sight (infrared) or RF? if RF how many frequencies? You gonna be messin' with every R09HR in the section?
Where's the 1/8" sync jack to slave two together? That's what I want.
