All in all, I've never been a huge fan of recording on optical media. We have a DVRA-1000 without the hard drive and like Hudson, I would never use it as my primary recorder, same as CD-R's.
All the best,

Yeah sure I could just edit in a computer but I'm trying to keep the computer shut down the more I can.
I want an "old school" setup, I work in face of a computer screen all week long in post-production, at my place, I prefer to avoid it and concentrate on the music itself.
