Need cassette or digital recorder recomendations

What do you say about the model below?

r=8-3/ref=pd_bbs_ur_3/102-1180370-7764911?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846

I own the model that lacks a mic in jack (a good recorder), but without
the mic in jack I will need to start looking for a new recorder. I need
a tape recorder where I can use the mic in jack to capture sermons from
TV (much cheaper for me than buying them). I need the recorder with the
best quality. Or do you think a standard tape recorder would do better?

Digital recorders are also another option, but as it looks they will be
more hassle for what I wish to accomplish. Yes they may capture better
sound quality, but then I'd have to burn the audio to a CD, and there is
no guarantee that the digital recorder will connect to a Mac, so I am
probably looking at a tape option here. Sony did make a boom box model
that could record to CD, but I believe its off the market.

Remember I am looking for the "cheapest" most convenient method. I don't
know if I should upgrade my microcassette recorder, or just buy a
standard tape recorder. For sermon purposes tape is just fine.


Thanks,


Johjn
