So this would actually be a better-spec'd recorder than the LB-S.

So the original LB is not that good preamps wise? Just the build quality and features are better than found on most recorders?
I ask cause for two years I've been waiting for getting the LB and I have to decide in 24 hours on if we will proceed with the purchase.
My only experience with Nagra is the old mono 4.2 and in digital I've used Sony, SD and Edirol (R44) recorders. So presumably I'd expect that Nagra LB will be an improvement over these.
With the main concern that it would be a bit more warm or open (more Nagrish if I may say so) than the SD 702 is for example.
My 4.2 sounds really great but it's getting old and is a bit cumbersome for field use when compared to modern machines.
