Welcome to the list Nigel! Long term, the Fostex FR-2LE should prove
itself the better investment over the Hi-MD if you plan to use
condenser mics. Oryoki has posted some lists of other recorders and
their features in the same basic price range in the past fews months.

FR-2LE has proven itself in key performance criteria. Are you
considering stereo? What natural subjects? Rob D.
