Recording about 2 hours in 24 bit and 49 khz takes about 2 gigabytes. R09 also has file size limiter to 2 gb but it cuts without any loss to new file if necessary.
I thought that was the main problem with the R-09, that it cuts to a new file, but with some loss??

You could always stop and continue the recording yourselves in a know pause in the show (e.g. before/during the one fireworks)

Edirol cuts to a new track without any loss from where it cuts off and the new one begins. Microtracker however takes a few second pause before it starts a new file.

That's even better, you don't have to care about where the file split will be then
