Well, it's really been a toss up between these two. Right now, here's how I see it:
Zoom H4
Pros:
- loaded with features (but more than I might need)
Cons:
- a big investment for an amateur recordist like me
- UI is not, well, usable (esp. for 4-track recording on the unit itself)
G-Track
Pros:
- simple design that does all the things i need from a USB mic (but not more)
- smaller investment
Cons (not really):
- no 4-track recording (but I'd prefer to do this on my PC anyway)
Right now, I'm leaning towards the G-Track again... If Audiophile has 'em for a good price, I might already get it.
