I own a MZ-N10, and hate operating it because I don't like using a remote. This reveals some problems:
1) It is so damn hard to operate it with one hand!
2) That scroll wheel is too small!
3) The joystick-like control is so aggrivating!!!! Too small!
Now, I was considering buying a Hi-MD unit, either the 700, 800, or 900, but seeing that joystick in the middle of the wheel really turns me off. BUT, unlike the N10 it is not shielded by the plastic casing so closely.
To owners and gurus of Hi-MD units:
1) Is the joystick on the Hi-MD units less stiff and easier to operate than on the N10?
2) Can I operate these new units with one hand?
3) Should I choose a 700/800 over a 900 because the only thing that really sets the 900 apart is a 3-line LCD remote that I would make no use of?
Thanks
