or mr8 hd (cheaper, but less tracks... these things are so easy to work with you'll find yourself wanting to add more and more tracks with just little bits in them only to hear the effect eheh).
will you record with amps/mics or directly into the thing?

edit: those costs a bit less than 500 euros, I considered that prices over here in europe are quite higher usually.
