Yup, I figure that I'm going to go ahead and get the Videonics MX-1, because 
it appears to be the best unit in it's price range.  My only concern was that 
there was talk of loss oif detail and flickering on backgrounds, etc.  I read 
a June 1994 article in Video and they liked the unit, but raised some picture 
quality issues....Oh well, what do you want for only $1000, right ?
Thanks for your reply, and happy videoing to ya !
