Looks promising,
http://www.thomann.de/gb/tascam_dr_680.htm
list price there is 955 euro, 868 GBP.
Early April they arrive.
"With this unit, the maximum recording file size is 2 GB. If the file size
reaches 2 GB while recording, the unit automatically continues recording in a
new take and stops recording the current take."
I didn't spot anything in the manual about mid/side monitoring which could be
an issue.
