One major flaw I found with the Edirol is the battery compartment
cover. The design and construction is such that one day it will
definitely break.

I'm not convinced of that; I've had one for a few months and although
I agree the cover is somewhat delicate I haven't had a problem with it
despite opening it every other day to remove the card and transfer
recordings to a laptop (a card reader makes the process very fast).
