u/Tekkatite - I would get the $449 (on sale) Zoom F4.
It has the same -127dBu EIN and 15dB higher gain than the $499 DR-680Mk II, but will cost you $50 less.
Good comparison of the F4's big brother, the F8, with the DR-680 here.
The F4 is essentially the same recorder as the F8 with 6 inputs and 8 tracks instead of 8 inputs and 10 tracks.
Great promo video from Zoom, recorded with the F4, here.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your short film!
