While the idler may be complicated on the Sanyos, they tend to be built like tanks. All they usually need is belts every couple of decades. In terms of Sony decks, the SL-HF3xx and 4xx models support Beta HiFi and SuperBeta playback and recording and go for much more reasonable prices. The only thing they won't do is playback B-Is tapes, but those are pretty rare anyway.
