I'd say it actually represents "pedalboard-istic" thinking.  If most/all 
of your tone shaping comes from pedals, a floor-based looper may be more 
suitable to your needs.  As a rack-based guitarist, I prefer to put the 
expensive thingies where they aren't going to be stepped on, tripped 
over, or suffer drink spills.
