Hi naturerecordists!

I'm interested in a portable solid state recorder for recording  
soundscapes as a second unit along my SD722/Sennheiser rig.
I want to carry it with me most of the time so its main use will be as  
a standalone device with its onboard microphones.
I've read  many reviews and tests but all of them comparing pre-amp  
quality, recording time using phantom power ets.
I cannot find any comparison on the quality of the onboard microphones.
I'm mainly interested in noise performance / dynamic range / detail /  
stereo image / directivity / wind sensitivity using  the internal  
microphones
Do you have any recommendation/comments on which is the best portable  
recorders concerning microphone quality / size & weight? (I'm mainly  
interested but not restricted in the sub-600 euros category)

thank you

Nikolas
