Nice selector of gear you have :) Maybe you need to clarify a bit more
what you'd like to record - urban phonography or natural sounds?

I'd take the SD702 and AT825 or VP88. The soundmans have zero tolerance
to wind are as noisy, the first makes them weak outdoors and the latter
makes them weak for natural ambiences.

Money doesn't seem an object here so the AT825 with a Sony RH1 or the
Edirol would give you a small portable rig for urban sounds. Some sort
of wind protection would be nice... How are you going to offload your
CF cards on the road? MD would score there, an SD702 is a little large
for stealthy urban recording though otherwise of course the better
recorder.

If you're after natural rather than urban sounds the Telinga has much
going for it and SD702, AT825/VP88 and Telinga lets you cover most
bases as long as stealth is not a priority.
