For all my
other than run-and-gun remote recording I have up to date computer/interface/DAW. It's for the
run-and-gun remote recording that I am looking for a simpler but good quality 'out-in-field' solution.

I use a DAW to edit.

The H5 looked interesting at first because you can reassign inputs ... but it has no more tracks than the H4NPro and doesn't enable you to start overdubbing halfway through a track (neither does the H6 I believe).
