Tim, Yes i have tried recording with external mics and also the internal one 
as well, and i will have to espectifully disagree with you on the internal 
microphone recording.
While the olympus recorders are good for  the price range  the pocket far 
out ways the features/proformance of the olympus recorders.
and it is small enough to  sit comfortable in a pocket and the quick set up 
for recording maks for a quick recording session.

It is also easy to hook the recorder to your PC and transfer files from it
for editing on the computer. I have been playing with the recorder set to
low microphone sensitivity using the Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural
microphones made famous by Larry Skutchan in most of his early Blind Cool
Tech environmental podcasts or sound-seeing tours as they were called then.
I had forgotten how stunningly good those mikes are and the recorder does
them proud. I have not done any serious recording as of yet, but will pass
along some listening samples as soon as I have something worth listening to.
