The only proffesional portable recorders I might find a bit better than the Zooms are the Marantz PMD, but for that price(over a $1000) it's not worth it.
Sorry for the late reply. The Zoom H4n's are pretty good. Much better than the edirol and Olympia's in the same price range, although the H4n's are a bit more expensive.
The only problem i find is that you get a much better audio signal when you use external mics attached to mic amps. You don't necessarily have to use it in this way, the build in mics or a good pair of external mics will do a good job too, but using a mic amp on your external mics will definitely improve the quality.
Overall i'd give them 9/10.
