Experiences and suggestions - Tascam DP-006 Digital Pocketstudio

I just got my DP-006 a few days ago...
This is my first foray into Solo Bass Recording.
This unit is intricate & the steps may be a Lil complex, at first. But once you get used to it, the quality of the Sound is quite good.
Now currently my Line consists of my Phender 4String P/J Bass through a Zoom B9.1ut through a 75W Rumble into the DP-006.
Works perfect... I've even taken my beater Lotus Bass & direct inputted it into the DP-006, sounded very good. Not as good as my regular chain. But nonetheless, for a quick Lil "Get this Riff outta my head & onto some tape", good....
 
Ok I know this is an old post, but I am trying to decide if the 008 is worth the extra money or if you are just paying for extra hassle and complication. The 006 is a six track...but it looks like a 4 track based on the knob configuration. And I'm not familiar with the concept of "bouncing" tracks but apparently you can bounce tracks on the 006 to get more than 6 tracks? Does anyone know how complicated this to figure out? If this is the case, what is the grand total of possible tracks that you can achieve on this recorder? Any other thoughts or opinions would be appreciated!
