    If the only difference is mounting bigger sd cards and 2 hours more battery life, I would pick dr40. Quickly couldn't see any other difference between them

    Just for your information.
    I would buy this one: https://www.thomann.de/dk/millenium_pp2b.htm
    Then you´ll have no issues regarding phantom power while recording!
    Phantom Power takes a lot of battery - while recording doesn´t!

    Yes, but is one more difference. In new line X. Tascam add audio interface. You can use DR-40X like a audio interface with 2 in, 2 out and like a usb microphone with built-in microphones.

    Text from Tascam site:
    "Connecting to a PC using USB Audio interface mode, and DR-40X becomes a tool for voiceover work, live streaming and songwriting with studio-quality audio.
    Built-in microphones work as USB microphones."
