The thing that concerns me with the DP units is that I think they're on their way out. I got "orphaned" with a Roland mixer and Logic Pro bundle and I don't want a repeat.

The Model 12 can also serve serve as an analog mixer for a duo or trio.

It can also work as a stand alone Portastudio or as an audio interface for a DAW. This seems to be the way Tascam is going for now. Might want to stock up on SD cards if I get one though.

I need new steps for the cabin right now so that'll be my next purchase.
