good resources jason, +T.
John as i mentioned, you could go with a cheap 16bit option like the JB3 and that will give you quick transfers to computer after the show if thats what you're looking for.
i'd say a big reason to get the microtracker is the ability to go 24bit. It really does make a hell of a difference when you have a good playback system that can handle it. I've been taping 24bit since 2003, and listening 24bit since 2004. Took me a while to get the right components but its totally worth it
anyway i still stand by my opinion that you should get rid of some of the gear you have and get the 722. I personally would sell off the ad1k and minime... but i know you like the minime...
the v2 might be nice to have down the line if you want to run Schoeps>v2>722... but i've been really happy with the results of mics>722... i think the schoeps w/ the 722 is a really nice pairing... check out some of my tapes from vegoose i ran jimbo's 4v's with my 722.
i'll call u later and we can bitch some more about all this
