Looper's Delight

I'm similarly looking for someone to persuade me one way or another though I'm in a slightly different situation. I have one EDP. The question for me is: If I want a stereo looper do I get a second EDP (while I can) or do I get a Repeater? The pros and cons that I'm aware of that apply for anyone are: * Reportedly the EDP is better for loop construction and other live looping games. It's feature set certainly seems better suited to this. * The EDP can go straight into overdub. * The Repeater has 4 loops -- though they all have to be the same length. * The Repeater has it's own effects loop that can come before, after, or applied to any of the loops. I think (Repeater owners please check me on this), that it's smart about resampling a loop through the effects. * Electrix build quality feels better than the build quality on the Echoplex. (I've got a MoFX and it just feels amazingly solid.) That being said, I haven't had any actually problems with my Echoplex. * The Repeater can save loops. (I've saved loops from my Echoplex to my SP-808 but it isn't exactly straightforward on either end.) * Tempo and pitch shift on the Repeater. I guess my big question for people who have both an EDP and a Repeater is are you happy or would you now have preferred 2 EDPs? Mark P.S. My dream loopers: Repeater hardware and connectivity with EDP software. - or - The SP-808 with a live looping oriented OS. If it kept the effects section but reworked the recording and playback around the notion of live loop recording, playback, and modification, it could be a really sweet machine.
