Instead of two P-2000's I'd suggest one P-2000 and one something else
with larger disk, lower cost but no preview ... I got a 100 GB
Wolverine for around $300 for example, so 2.5x more disk space for 60%
the cost (but no image preview). It's also a lot smaller than the
P-4000 so easier to carry.

I agree, that's why I *never* erase/reformat a memory card until it's
been copied to TWO places (usually a laptop and small HD, or if I can't
take the laptop then two small HD's with CF readers) and I've verified
the images open in a RAW converter. This is often a pain in the ass
but for sure the hard drives will die one day and if you have your
files on only one you'll lose the data ...
