Wealthy, yes. But I can report that we use the similar but lower-priced 722 here to record concerts and the students who record have found it very easy to work with. Some are not particularly experienced with audio, yet the learning curve is not steep and they have had a much easier time setting levels and making good recordings than with the Tascam DA-P1's that we've used in the past.
