I've always thought of the 3V29 as a bit 'blue collar' (and that the JVC version is needlessly ugly). Also, those nasty little paddle switches that break off too easily? No thanks. Between them, the Hitachi VT-8500 (tough / solid) and the Panasonic NV-333 (slick / stylish) have the middleweight top loader segment of this era covered surely?
