Well, you could use that $1,000 to put a down payment on a Nagra LB. :) We (meaning Kalvos & Damian, our erstwhile radio show) have the Core Sound mics, which are very nice; they were a gift to the show. I don't have $1,000 to spend either, so I haven't investigated the middle ground of recorders. If I had to do it over, I'd go with the Microtrack again, mostly because of the balanced mic inputs with phantom power, its 96KHz 24bit recording, removable flashcard, and user interface (which I find convenient with its very different buttons for different functions). But I think we're about the head into a next generation scenario where, if too much time isn't spent on "thin", we'll get an improved set of analog-digital conversion specs. So my advice would be, unless you're dissatisfied with the Edirol, to wait a year.
