inu-liger, you're not making my decision any easier :) Your sample has significantly clearer vocals and overall sound while the Church Audio sample seems to have better drums and sounds more natural. So it's still like 50/50 for me :)
As for the batteries, I will indeed be using NiMH 2500 mAh ones. I didn't really study your calculation but 13 hours don't seem likely to me :) On the other hand, I will be travelling across Western Europe so I assume there will be electricity in every hotel and no problem with charging the batteries after every gig ;-)

Also, getting back to memory cards, how's this for mindblowing:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134716
Kingston 32GB Class 4 SDHC card
$148.99 US
These guys don't ship internationally, but I have a friend in New York who could order this :P
This could be really useful if, again in worst case scenario, you're not able to make backups after each show.
It's roughly $0.0025 cheaper per GB than the 8GB Class 4 Kingston card the same site offers, so it comes down to your budget and preferences. Ain't trying to really make ya go broke here :P
PCM recording times for 32GB
88.2/16 @ 24H 36M 29s
88.2/24 @ 16H 24M 19s
96/16 @ 22H 36M 20s

I'm not exactly known for making things easy to begin with ;-)
Besides, it wasn't easy for me either, doing all the research I had to last year in a short time frame.
I'm trying to give you as much info as possible, even if it's really excessive! :-)
By the way, I forgot to mention that, since TDD used cardioids, those are the ones that are unidirectional, so you can REALLY tell when he moves his head (which happens at least once in his recording)

Yeah, that harks back to my comment about using fresh batteries for every concert anyways.
And my calculations were theoretical anyways. As mentioned before, playback on those devices uses more power than recording does.
Rechargable batteries indeed will be better, especially the NiMH ones :-)
Costs more, but you rake in the savings in the long run.
I hope you wouldn't need to buy a whole whack of power supply converters for each country, LOL!
Edit: Oh BAH, I think you're right. What I didn't take into account, regarding the suggested battery usage life for Edirols, is that its for when it uses TWO batteries. So yeah, 13 hours might not be right, but it should still be significantly longer than alkaline.

inu-liger - I sent you an email, there are still some questions I need answers to.
