The M4000/5000 probably is slower than the Mark II when cycling. But then  
again you run less risk of fowling the tapes. Except for random static  
causing a tape to hang now and again during playing, I have never had a single  
problem with the M4000. Cycling continues to work flawlessly.

Sounds no more limting than the 8 second play  time.
A possible advantage to the M5000 when it  arrives.
