Ira, for what it sounds like you're looking to do, I'd say just go with the Zoom H4. It's ubiquitous, it's relatively inexpensive, so if dies or you break it you won't have to cry too much. Only thing to watch out for is in airport security, it apparantly look kind of like a taser or weapon under x-ray, so best to take it out of your bag and be proactive about showing security that's it's an audio recorder. The Tascam's look OK, but I've yet to see anyone running around with one to ask what they really think.
