Yep I would have preferred a 3 head HK cassette but they are hard to come by in working condition unless outrageous pricing, and I didn't want my very first cassette deck ever to be a junker.
I skipped the cassette craze back in the day - went with an RT-707 as my first tape machine and never looked back.
Sold four Pioneers - two 707s and two 909s a few months ago - and now experimenting with Sony reel to reels and the TD292.
And inexpensive used commercial cassettes are widely available still and seem to have avoided the worst of the tape shedding problem that vintage reel to reel tapes often have.
So far though none of my replacement decks can hold a candle to the sound quality of the 909. As a test, when dubbing onto tape on the 909 from TIDAL, when I switched between source and tape monitoring I could not hear any difference at all!
Like the girl that got away, I guess now I will always regret selling that one...
