What about the new Yamaha MT1X portable 4-track ?  It has features
pretty similar to the MiniStudio, except can record on all 4 channels
at once. Sells for about $450. Any comments/opinions ?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the Tascam 234 4-track deck
sans mixer-board? It runs at 3-3/4 ips, and sells for about $700.

They all, of course, have dbx.
