It's a lot easier to syncronize the word clocks when recording!

The best solution is *one* wireless mic (for the interviewee) and you get
to keep the recorder, your own mic, and the receiver.  That way you can
still all walk around.

With two recorders, you really want a way to share word clock.  You might
get away with two recorders, but if you *do* develop a problem, that will
_really_ drive you nuts in the editing room!

If you have a budget for a second recorder, I'd get it to have a spare (or
redundant recording!)

Cheers,
