Have you checked out the Sony N1? It also has net MD. Granted, the thing costs $350, but its slick. I have an MZ-R900 myself and love it. I think N1 is the replacement for the 900 (top of the line at the time). Keep in the mind that the 707 is not flat. There is a hump on the back for the AA battery whereas the N1 is flat. Might not be a big deal but it does fit in your pocket better.
