I think you would be better looking at computer options these days. A lot of flexibility and probably more cost-effective than a 4 track

The cool thing about gear like this is you aren't tied to the computer. It's not the best for composing and editing, but it's great for just recording everything you play and then transferring it back to the computer later. You can also capture sounds in the environment and use them.

I second computer recording, you will get much more bang for your buck with an M-Audio or Tascam USB interface and Reaper than with a 4-track recorder. Better sound quality, more flexibility, etc. and if you are going to transfer it to the computer anyways, you might as well just record it there to begin with.

That's what a laptop is for.
