Sync LE to UVW-1800 BETACAMsp. Is “lock” possible?

Sorry, lots of questions and little time. Could someone help?

OK, I’ve got a PPS-2 sync box by Cooper. It will read true smpte and convert it to MTC.
I will be borrowing a Sony UVW-1800 BeTascam sp deck and Black burst box.
And of course the 001

Questions:
1. With this (stuff) can I set up LE to sync to the 1800 without drift?

EarthWorks or DPA / B&K?

I have used B&K 4006 mics (they are omnis) and was amazed by their sound quality. (The 4000 series mics are now distributed by DPA.) I would love to buy a pair, but that would cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.

Can someone who has had experience with both please compare and contrast the:
