Don't know about that one
but a friend of mine has a Tascam one and it's the business.

Go to www.soundonsound.com and search for 'portable recorder' if you want to see lots of reviews.

how would you rate the quality of the recording
if you use it in a room with a full band?

does it sound like you are in a room with a full band? or like someone did a mediocre recording of a full band?

thanks for the linky

You have to be very careful about positioning the recorder
in order to get a decent balance.

Also, bear in mind it's going to depend a great deal on the room acoustics, where close micing would pretty much eliminate that. But used properly, it's not bad at all. The recording quality, from a technical standpoint, is pretty good.

One other thing - don't rely on the auto record level setting. Get someone to do it manually to avoid overloads and/or gain pumping.

thanks
it is mainly going to be used for recording jams and practices and such like so I'm sure we will be able to get reasonable positioning.
