Do you think there would be much difference in quality betweeen:

A) Using the Tascam unit (16 bit), along with it's own phantom power +
2 mics (under $300 for both mics)

and

B) Just using the Edirol R-1 unit (24 bit) which has two built in
stereo mics.

You bet your ass. The difference between 16 and 24 bits isn't going to
be nearly as great as the difference you can make by selecting the
best microphones for the job within your budget and placing them
correctly.

The Edirol would require a lot less effort, and if all you want to do
is document your playing, then go for it. But if you want to spend
some effort getting the best sound you can afford, go with separate
microphones, which on your budget (unless you want to change gears yet
another time) means the TASCAM.
