I have to agree 100% with this.  I have the same unit (a Sony 
MZ-R700) and can't say enough great things about it.  I haven't 
taken it out for field recording, but I do record my guitars & synths
using it all the time and I love the results.  I've been wanting to
get a decent stereo mic for it and I expect that the quality of this 
item is what will make the difference between an ok field recording 
and a great sounding one.  The recorder is transparent enough that 
if you can get a good signal to it it should treat it right.
