Better quality perhaps, but more expensive. The other cheap unit which looks 
attractive is this:

It's the size of a credit card! (But thicker of course). Has great reviews too. 
It's a kit but can be made for you and shipped internationally for a total of 
$185.

Ah.. haven't got that far yet. I am finding there are so many steps to arrange! 
I thought I would do some recording before tackling that stage, but if you have 
any good free software to recommend I'd be happy to hear it. Up until now the 
only editing I have been doing is with Audacity.
