Hey uk1 and other Zojirushi owners - do you find that brown rice sticks to the cooking pot? Do you have to pre-soak brown rice?

I'd like to get a rice cooker so I can make whole meals with one button, but I'd mostly be making brown rice. I was also considering this Sanyo (which is $50 cheaper than the Zoji NS-ZCC10 and seems like it does more - includes a steaming tray and can function as a crock pot), but the reviews say that brown rice sticks to the nonstick surface. This would be too much of a pain for me.

Basically, I want to be able to throw rice, veggies, and maybe chicken or fish in the rice cooker and have dinner ready. I would also like to be able to make oatmeal. Do I even need a fancy rice cooker, or will a simple one suffice for this? If so, which simple one do people recommend? I want the fancy Zoji because I want a new toy...but I can't quite justify the expense.
