I would take an MZ-R50 over most any other Sony.  I've had three, none has
failed. Not as small, but dedicated line in/out and *very* solid in the
field.  I still carry one as my backup.

The MZ-R37 is also well built; the interface is not as elegant, but it has
the advantage of accepting AA batteries directly in its body -- the
MZ-R50 uses a screw-on adapter.

I've gotten both of these at very good prices on eBay (< US$80 for the
R50, < $US60 for the R37).

This said, Sharp has had an edge on providing features useful to
recordists (eg, adjusting gain during a session if necessary; not
requiring 'end search' before every recording...).

Best regards,
 aaron
