Good Digital 4 Track Recorder in the $100-$200 Range?

[happyrat1]

Hi folks, the title says it all. Can any of the experts out there recommend a good or great 4 track digital recorder in the $100 to $200 range?

I'm not looking for USB connectivity or anything like that. For reasons that I won't get into here recording on my PC ATM is not an option. Just something I can use to record my sessions to an SD Card and import to a PC afterward. Built in MP3 compression would be a nice extra worth having but not necessarily a deal breaker.

BTW, I already own a half decent little 12 channel mixer, so in theory I could get by with a two channel unit as long as the recording quality is up to snuff.

I'm open to suggestions. Let's hear what you got and what you use and what you like

Can you rate em as to pros and cons? What makes the Zoom worth $100 more? Do you own either of them?

Good questions. Remember, Google is your friend. Don

I had a REALLY bad experience with a different Zoom product a few years ago. Have they improved their quality at all?
