Steve, to be fair to me, I don't think I exactly said the PTr2 was a 
replacement for the R1, simply the nearest thing to it in terms of a card 
recorder, although of course it has the CD recording facility too.  Yes, the 
PTR2 is larger but does have the advantage, as far as some are concerned, of 
being able to record to CD and act as a CD drive when attatched to a computer.

It is accessible too, although the early models did have anoying and 
unnecessary prompts.  There shouldn't be any guess work when uisng the PTR2.  I 
hope you aren't going to come back and display dismissiveness about 
acfcessability in this context because I'm sure many find the PTR2 quite a good 
deal over most if not all portable recorders for knowing what's going on.For 
what it does it doesn't seem to carry a rediculous premium for this 
accessability factor.

Hi Ray,
To say the PTR2 matches the Edirol in any way is pure silliness.  The PTR
can't record in straight wave, it has too many moving parts, and is just too
darned bulky.  Good for recording Daisy, but I wouldn't use it for location
recording.  The appeal of the Edirol is that you can just pull it out of
your pocket, and capture sound.  There are very few devices that let you
capture sound with reasonable quality, without having wires everywhere.
All the best
