The Roland VS digital recorders are designed to be stand alone, portable recorders. Your question is pretty broad.."should I buy it". You are hungry and driving by McDonalds should you stop? What do you want to do with it? The VS deals are top notch machines for a home recording dude. Set up idealy for a solo dude to multitrack, add effects and overall mix a tune. Personally I think the quality is excellent. I have an 880EX and sit happy as a bug laying down a heap of tracks. The biggest downside is going blind reading the tiny screen. Not a killer issue because one can pump it out to a pc. As far as comparing it (The VS) to other mediums, that depends on your needs. PC's can be set up to do everything the roland does and be expanded. But a PC is not nearly as portable. Compared to the Korg D-8, well there is no comparison. The korg is trash next to the rolands. You shine a light on what your long and short term goals are and we can answer yer question more in detail.
