Our incomplete manual is more than twice as long as their incomplete manual. :-) If you have to choose one or the other, make the choice based on what you do with looping, because other than the very highest level of functions the two are very different from each other and apply to different approaches to loops. Choose the one that matches what you want to do with looping. In a nutshell, I would say that the EDP is better for a live, interactive, improvisational style of looping where you are otherwise involved in playing another instrument. I think the Repeater is better for a more studio based approach where you use real-time looping as a compositional and recording tool. Neither does the other very well, which is why so many people are getting both. As for price, also include the other things you will likely buy to make a complete unit. Probably that means the EDP footpedal for the EDP, and for the Repeater a midi controller footpedal, additional compact flash card, and compact flash card reader. I think you end up spending around the same amount either way, once you add those items in. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
