Anyone got an experience with one of these? Got one on craigslist for 450 U.S. dollars. I'm liking the multiple inputs most of all. Give me your opinions if you have any. thanks

I've had a couple of hours behind the knobs of one of those. The similarities to the BOSS recorders are obvious and when you have experience with those, you're nearly halfway up the learning curve. If you know for sure you want to invest the time to learn how to use it, it's a great deal. You can record live drum kits and orchestra's and whatnot.
If you want quick and simple results and work alone most of the time, and want to spend more time playing the instruments than the knobs of the recorder, you'd be better of with a BR-800.

Thanks for the help guys. I've got a BR-900 and like it a lot. The main reason for getting something with inputs is to be able to record the band. I'd love to record the drums and pan and set levels for each drum recorded individually. Or even record songs live if we wanted.

I'm not sure I'll go for it as I'm a few dollars short and will have to do some scrounging, but we'll see.
