Portable recorders and Pro Tools

[4Mal]

I'm looking at under $400 field recorders. All the usual suspects from Tascam and Zoom. I want to capture a decent field image in 24 bit .wav and do my cleanup/production in PT.

If an H2 will do it then cheaper is better. If a DR-1 will do it better then OK. If I need more tracks - I'll porta rack my Digi 002R and laptop so this is all about 2 track convenience ...

Any stand out recorders in the bunch ? Any gotcha's I've missed conceptually ? Is there life on Mars ?

Thanks - inquiring minds need to know ...

Used H4 and Pro Tool's Import feature works like a champ!
