Fostex vs. Tascam....help me decide?

[chager]

Obviously I am looking for something very inexpensive. I cannot for the life of me decide between the Tascam Porta 02 ($149 at http://www.musiciansfriend.com) and the Fostex X-14 ($129 at same site.) Have been unable to locate user reviews on either model. Any feedback pos or neg about either would be greatly appreciated!!!! Leaning a little toward the Tascam right now, but.....

Decided: NEITHER

Sitting here day in and day out, I never even considered turning my state-of-the-art computer system into a digital multitracking system. Until I downloaded N-Track from FASOFT, that is. No clunky cassette-based system for me. For $39, I now have a flexible, speedy digital multitracker! Thanks for the advice everyone, if I ever go "cassette" (why?!) I'll choose the Tascam over the Fostex. Not a word of pos feedback from the Fostex users, but tons from the Tascam users...hmmmmmmm.... Gotta go convert my first two songs into MP3's now....
