Basic 4 track recorder for long recording ?

I've had a ZOOM 4-track recorder ( I think it was $200.00 ? ) for a few years but realized that the unit is only capable of recording "shorter" recordings, not 3+ hours continuosly. Now,I have the ZOOM H4 which has a 4-track built in, but, I'd still rather have a unit with larger control buttons & sliders.
If my ZOOM 4-track was capable of long recordings, it would be perfect.

Giving the master a room

While the vocals arent going to be finished for about 2 months, I am trying to master the instruments of my CD. All of the instruments have been done direct and the drums are using very little of the room they were recorded in. I do have a verb thats been placed on the snare, but that is about all the simulated reverb that I have going.

Recording without Isolation Rooms

So I've been recording myself and different bands I've been in for 5 years or so with Cubase SX and am comfortable enough with the program that I've started offering local bands my services at their jam space. It'll give me some good experience, and will be cheaper for the band then going to a studio, with hopefully the same quality.
