Just a heads-up that the ES15 is a DVD Recorder, not a VCR. You won't be able to rewind tapes with it.

GoVideo SDV-650 vs JVC HR-S9800U

Are these two VCRs identical (just different branding) or are there some minor differences?

Is there a reason why the JVC is in bold (preferred) and the GoVideo isn't?
