Certainly looks a nice machine and for the price but I am still leaning to
the 722 because of the size basically, I totally trust the sound devices but
of course this machine may turn out to be something!!
Thanks Arron

Wow wow wow.
A cheaper alternative to the 744T ~ a friend who saw it yesterday at AES
(I'm going to try to go today) said it was supposed to list at $1800:

Hot on the heels of their 2 channel portable recorder comes a four channel
40 GB HD recorder with phantom-powered XLR for four channels. Records up
to 24/96. Runs off 8x AAs. Limiter if you want it. USB2 for file transfer.
CF slot to offload recordings to. Onboard editing capabilities, electret
mics (2), and speakers for in-field editing. Pre-record buffer.
Digital inputs too if the onboard pres turn out to be not the best.
It looks about as big as a hardback book. Maybe bulkier than the 722/744.
But not nearly as big as say a Deva etc.
More if I get to see one!
