Differences between the 1880HD and the 1824CD?

[Mojo Cracker]

Here's what I think I know of the differences so far:

1. The 1880 has linked faders; the 1824 doesn't...
2. The 1880 comes with a 6 gig HD; the 1824 comes with a 10...
3. The 1880 needs an outboard CDRW; the 1824 has one internal...
4. The 1880 come with NO FX cards; the 1824 comes with one of a possible two that can be used...

Are the features/operation/functionality basically the same other than what I listed (same preamps, display, control layout, etc.)? Or is there anything else I missed?

FWIW I heard the 1880 was discontinued by Roland, but there seems to be some stock left.

Thanks,

MC

i believe the 1824cd will record at 24 bit 96khz, while the 1880 will only do 16/44.1, when you kick into 24 bit mode on the 1824, however, i hear it will only playback/record half of the tracks that it'll do in 16 bit.
this is all info from dealer specs, i've only played with the 1680 and 880ex, they both sounded quite clean though.

Thanks, Cap'n.

I didn't think there were too many differences overall, but all in all I guess it looks like and 1880 in a more efficient package and a little more easier to use.
