I think Sony isn't putting their heart into MD, because mini disc is dead in my opinion. It's quickly being replaced by flash drive recorders and IPOD type devices.
Personally I hvae been suing a M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 Removable Flash card recorder, and it works far better than teh IRivers have for me. The biggest problem that the IRivers were for me was that I had at least 4 IRivers stop being recognize my my computer systems, hense the data on them was not able to be taken off it (This is whay I love removable flash cards).
The M-Audio isn't cheap, but yields better recording and even had balanced 1/4 TRS inputs for mics. And while mini disks have to be recorded back to your system (analog), I just have to take the flash card out of the MT and place in my card reader, and transfer (either as MP3 or WAV) to my system in a matter of minutes. No additional software or conversion is needed like the IRivers and I save a ton of time, unlike mini disk transfer.
Personally I record to Microtrack during ceremonies with a small T stereo mic pluggen into the 1/8 input and it has worked great.
During receptions I record using stereo AT822 mic to 1/4 TRS input, and at the same time output from the RCA's IO to my Samson Wireless to send to my camera to Left channel, for dual redundant recording. This also enables me to monitor the Microtrack while it is recording.
There is another unit that is coming out in a month or so from Edirol (Edirol R-09) that is getting a lot of attention as well.

The IRivers were great for me while starting off, and cheap to boot, but I needed a more reliable way to get even better audio.
I still use an IRiver for redundant backup audio, where I need additional audio recorded while my MT is already in use. I just don't rely on them for much needed audio.
