conditionals

Thanks a lot, that's what I figured. I know both are Type-R but I understand that the components within the 20ES are of a higher quality/performance. I was jus thinking that maybe the JE770, being a later model, might have some sort of benefit (other than MDLP, which I'm not really interested in anyway)

Hey guys, lurking around I've seen a lot of talk about the MDS-JA20ES being great. However, the later models such as the MDS-JE770 don't get mentioned as much on here. I've recently come into one of each (and by "come into", I mean "purchased on eBay within 7 days of each other") and am trying to figure out which to use as my main recording deck. I'm assuming the JA20ES as it's ES, but just want to confirm with the many experts here as I'm a relative amateur. Cheers
