pmd660 dilemma

Hi folks,
I'm one of the unlucky souls who bought a pmd660 without hearing 
adequately about the preamp/hi gain noise issues, which are really 
terrible.  I'm a novice and it took me about 2 minutes to realize 
there was something really screwy with the system- I thought it was 
faulty.

So here's the dilemma:

Do I suck up a $200 modification fee and get Doug Oade to fix it, 
bringing the total to about $650?  

Or do I sell the pmd660 and buy another solid state recorder that uses 
a decent preamp (and doesn't use whatever STUPID electrical design is 
apparently responsible for most of the problem)?  Is there such a 
beast for somewhere near $650?

Any input is much appreciated,
thanks,
Randy
