My best advice: be very clear about the return policy.

I'm suspicious of recorders that use compact flash cards. Had one, years ago, and took it back.

It was crazy, but if you listened very very very VERY carefully, on headphones, you'd heard a BEEPING burned into the recordings. I even called the manufacturer (Fostex) -- their engineer said, there was NOTHING that could be done about it.

YMMV. Maybe that problem doesn't happen, with the Tascams.

P.S. If you're just starting out, and just want to see how your songs and sound work, I see no reason to spring for monitors. Just use your home stereo.
