What is wrong with the mini Digtal Recorders?

I am throwing this question out here because I haven't seen it discussed anywhere else...so here goes. I know the advantages of having an Roland - Edirol or Zoom type system as alternative ways of getting sound, I unfortunately do not have $400 to drop on a couple of them (which would be $800) But what would be the issue with using an input mic with some of the smaller, and less expensive digital recorders? I understand that I could pickup some I-Rivers on Ebay, but those are usually sold as is... and I depise waiting for online orders, especially if I don't what I am going to get. And they also seem to be getting more and more rare. So I was think abot something I can hold in my hand at the time of purchase, test it out, and if it sounds like crap, return it. Of Course, the "testing" would come before I take a risk on it at an event. Like maybe test it out on my priest by wiring it to the pulpit at a Sunday Mass one day, and then review it in comparision to what I have been doing which has been using my laptop computer, which is flaky in reliability at best. (Actually, I wouldn't have to wired it to the pulpit, since I can tap directly into the mic feed where the sound system is, which is what I would do with my laptop when I recorded his sermons) I jsut wanted to throw this out here, I am pretty sure that Mark and others will have some pretty good advice. Remember.. I am not made of money here, and I am running into more venues where I cannot jack into the system for one reason or another, so when things like readings and singing happen, all I get is nat. sound...which sounds like crap... and I think this would at least give me a temp solution until I go "big time" with the other sound systems. Any advice/info ... I thank you for in advance.
