I'd recommend the Sony MZ-R50, has a 40sec antishock, good battery life.
I had the MZ-R50 until it was stolen and was very pleased with it, recently I
purchased the MZ-R55
which is nice, small and funky, but has a poor battery life.
if I were to buy a new MD, I'd carefully look at the new Panasonic SJ-MR100,
it has an excellent battery life, world's smallest/lightest portable MD
recorder.

I'm not sure about that, I never looked at the E33, isn't it kinda old?
I wouldn't recommend 10sec buffer if you plan to use it as a portable device.

Why do you need a deck, you can use any of the portables just fine, connected to
an amplifier.

You can always order it, get it shipped, etc.
it might cost a little more for shipment (or a lot more) but it might be worth
it.
when you said $1000, were you talking about Australian or US dollars?
