Walt, I went in to buy the Fisher this weekend (after looking at ads for
quite some time.)  You should be aware (I wasn't) that it is NOT hi-fi, but
only stereo.  I ended up getting a $398 Sanyo BETA HI-FI, which doesn't
do MTS, but seemed to have a better picture than the VHS units in its
price range.  I figure I can buy a MTS standalone decoder when one comes
out.  Also the Fisher only had twelve channel presets, I think, which
seemed like a disadvantage.  (Only way to get the other channels was
to manually retune the presets each time.)  Anyway the Fisher seemed
to be a pretty good price performer ($498 around here).
