DAW vs. . portable multitracker, please help a newbie

Hi guys, new guy here.

I'm currently using a Korg D16 and I'm ready for something better to record our band. Don't need pro quality, but would obviously like to get the best I can afford. My budget is $1500~$2K.

As the title suggests, I'm torn between a new stand-alone workstation, which I'm quite comfy with, or a DAW, which I know nothing about.

Newbie

Uh...Just a newb. Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm hue and I can see that there are some people here that I will want to learn from. I come from a background when digital was still to tape. Though I've spent time in pro studios behind a decent desk, it's been a while and my chops just aren't at par anymore. Good thing I'm just a hobbyist! Anyway, I'll be pickin' brains here.
