But isn't that the point? People attracted to using CF Cards
over MD usually desire fast digital transfer to PC and archiving on
another medium (CDR or whatever) They reuse their original storage
medium (just as digital photograhers do). If that's the case the cost
comparison isn't valid.

I think the valid point one could make in favor of MD is that because
the  original recording medium is cheap it may be a much better
solution in field situations in which one might not have frequently
opportunities to offload onto cheaper storage. But there are also
solutions to that issue.
