I have a MZ-R700DPC, and the only thing I'd really like to have from the
900 is the automatic trackmark ability. At a family gathering, I set up
the MD recorder with a microphone to record the evening for posterity,
like my uncle used to do with a reel-to-reel recorder, and ended up with
one three-and-a-half-hour track (in LP4, of course). Naturally this
makes it difficult to find anything in particular ("What was that joke
Dan told, about the nun and the coffeemaker?"); with the 900 I could've
had trackmarks automatically inserted every some minutes while
recording.
And someone mentioned the battery bulge on the 500 and 700... I like the
bulge, as it lets me set the 700 on my desk, while using the PCLink for
example, and still have the screen at a readable angle.
