Well, that depends on the area.  Beta is doing quite well out here, and
I've heard of a lot of people who are now buying beta (either hifi or
super beta).  The video stores seem to have a better selection in beta
than vhs, especially on friday nights.  I also heard that vhs on slow
speed doesn't record hifi well, whereas beta seems to have no problem.

I personally would go for quality, because a fuzzy picture would be a
constant reminder to me that I had made a mistake [:-)].

I guess you can tell I am not.......Mr. Video.
