Edirol R‑05 ($199.99)
Tascam DR-40
Marantz PMD 620
Tascam DR70d (Big but only 300 new and 4 channels which you won't need.)
bhphotovideo.com (my fav) and Sweetwater.com are both solid.
Edit: This guy hand builds good stuff. He's pretty respected & trusted.

Edit 2: If you want to go all in on mics there's always the DPA 40xx series...
