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.

Portable DAWs

G'mornin'

I'm in the market for one of those spiffy self-contained portable digital workstations, and my eyes have glazed over trying research the many brands and models. I currently run an ADAT system that I'm pretty happy with, but would like to have a unit I can haul around and use remotely.
