Tascam 788 Brochure PDF
                   pricewise had a look here £369 - ex demo £299 - £369.00 appears to be the average discount price on the net.... not sure where you are in UK but many local dealers will match web prices for a quick sale and at least you have someone nearby if things do go wrong!

One of the things I like about the 788 is the fact that you have more than two inputs (many new machines only have 2 and appear to be aimed at "a guitarist/singer") - but there may be times when you will want more inputs e.g. We will often use 2 or more mics just for one acoustic guitar...
