All I "need/want" for the moment is 24/96 stereo recording. 2x XLR with Phantom power. 4-12 hours of battery life and recording time with phantom power on. It almost looks like that if I wait another two years I could have all that and more for $500.

My current Mobile pre at 16/48 is sufficient if battery life wasn't an issue. I'm mainly interested in the Fostex FR2LE because it's more portable and rumored to have much better preamps. So instead of making a second trip for the laptop plus interface, I could make the whole monty part of the mic stand. One trip instead of two for my instrument plus recording gear.

Actually the Zoom H4 might also suit my needs if it had better battery life. Or if I could get or make some sort of super battery rig to double or tripple a devices battery life. As long as the storage capacity of the device wasn't also an issue.

Seems to be a europe type thing. 15 hours of 20/48. With two XLR plus phantom power. Probably not worth the almost $4K-ish USD equivalent of the euros price.
