Yo Mort:
there is a dedicated site for the 1600 with very friendly talent and lots of help.
Yo Mort:
For just under 1k, you can get a Yamaha AW1600 multitracker. I use the 2816 and I recently got a 1600. The 1600 will burn a full CD in 9-11 minutes. O. A decent pair of monitors will also help you get quality on your CDs.

I was going to start a new thread, but it's related to this topic so I won't.
I have a plan of getting some portable gear together and recording band demos and shows. I was thinking of getting a Digi 003 rack and recording onto a laptop, but realized the slow speed of the hard drive might be a bottleneck, plus i'd have limited inputs (tough to mic drums on 4 preamps) and no faders. So now I'm thinking of a multitracker. I have much more experience with mixing boards than DAW software anyways.
My local shop has the following recorders available for ~$1000 CAN:
Zoom HD16-CD for $700
Roland VS2000CD for $1000
Yamaha AW1600 for $1175
All have 16 inputs (and 8 preamps). So does anyone have experience with any of these? Online reviews are scarce, and I'm not sure about any major differences between them - they all seem similar.
Thanks for your help!

Make coffee, huh? Pretty good mod. I don't allow drinks in my studio--too much of a chance some one will spill upon my gear. However, I usually have a Martini close by in the PM hours.

For the reason its getting great reviews every where, its got drums and bass lines which I prefer over doing my own
I already have cubase se3 so I can download the finished product on computer to convert it to mp3 if need be
but I like the fact that its user friendly, if you download the pdf file manual.
at the present I have 4 keyboards and 2 sound modules so I need the channels(not doing vocals just instrumentals)
Ive heard the zoom hd16 recordings and their awesome. 24 bit /16 bit
I cant really hear the difference for the dollar amount.
