[net.video] What VCR should I buy - Beta or VHS?

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times before, but
I haven't been subscribing to net.video in the past. Now we're
looking at buying a VCR and wondering what to get.
	We've been told (by a Sanyo salesman) that Beta is catching
up with VHS in popularity, and that Beta is better quality? Is this
true? The Sanyo model we were looking at is the 6300.
	I would appreciate any recommendations people can MAIL as
to what in their experience the best brand/model to buy is. We want
it for renting movies and for (occasional?) taping stuff off TV
for posterity. Cable-ready is important.
	I'll summarize what I get for the net.

ADVthanksANCE,
