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).

That's good to know. I'm especially persnickety about construction
details. I work at a pretty large radio facility and the broadcasters
aren't terribly kind to the gear so it has to be pretty much
bulletproof. Especially if it's something that I can't repair which
makes the unit unusable.

I thought battery covers ALWAYS held on with gaffer tape? :-)
