Hi, it sort of depends what you want and when you want it. As I see it MD is
no more. You have to go solid state for portable

Not if you don't like the cost, which is considerable. Blank MDs are
dirt cheap.

I think the ongoing collapse in large CF cards prefaces the end of MD

CF cards have not collapsed to the price of MD blanks. Although I do
remember a time when MD blanks cost about ten times what they do now (ie
pretty close to the current price of an equivalent CF card).
