The 702 is the same as the 722 but without the hard drive but that option i=
s still better than your mixy and D50 together in my humble opinion.
The 664 works out far more expensive and heavier than the mixy and the D-50=
put together but the 664 is far more versatile than your setup being that =
it has camera returns and can record simultaneously to two cards and is a m=
ultichannel recorder as well as an excellent mixer in one. The newer 663 ho=
wever is a lot more compact and lighter than your set-up and becomes a 6 ch=
annel recorder as well as a top grade mixer with equally outstanding mic-pr=
es..
I have the 722/788t/664. I've never thought weight a problem even with a oc=
t box carrying 8 lectrosonic receivers in the same bag... Try using the por=
tabrace harness, it distributes the weight brilliantly!
The main thing though is how you feel with the set-up that suites you best,=
sorry I confused what you had stated but I still believe Sound Devices are=
a tough act to beat....
Happy recordings.....
