Hi Jim,
Yes, the Olympus LS100 and indeed the LS14 would beat any of those
recorders.
All the best

Jackie,
I don't know that I would use either the Plextalk or Linio for making
pro recordings. I might buy one of them on approval just to test it
out.I'd be useing
the Olympus ls-100 or a Sound Devices machine, but the SD stuff is in a
totally different price bracket, smile.
