RE: struggling to enter the digital age...

Sure.
Most things being equal, as far as sound quality, I would have been happy with the Tascam, but a few extras pushed my choice to the Sony.
1. Mic / line switching for both XLR and 3.5 mini jack inputs
2. 16GB internal memory and SD card up to 256GB
3. Battery life from 32-44 hours plus USB power input
4. 2 second start up time
5. Input volume control dial numbered for quick reference
6. Bluetooth playback
7. Includes smart phone app for basic functions as a remote control

These may not add up to $200 but I have also owned many Sony products with zero defects, and the
Bluetooth function will be nice while driving the car, with USB power.
