Is there any real benefit to using a Beachtek type audio adapter, over using something like the Tascam DR-100 feeding audio into the GH2 via the line-out jack? Since the DR-100 has dedicated line-out and headphone jacks, one wouldn't need to use a splitter or anything. And the added recording feature / built-in microphones of the DR-100 seem to put it well ahead of Beachtek audio adapters, while costing less.
The only possible drawback I can think of is that it eats through batteries a bit faster, but I'd just be powering it off of a high-mAh battery pack on my rig, anyway.
It seems like it's an easy decision, but am I missing something here?
