For under $400, there's the Boss RC-40 (?), and the Line 6.  Line 6 has
good delay effects as well as looping, and the Boss is a dedicated
looper w/ 4x more memory than the Line 6.  It's a simple pedal that will
loop and save up to 5 minutes of looped music.  

The Line 6, however, is very popular on this list for those who are
getting started in the looping thing.

well..I already have a multi-track recording setup. The problem there
being 
that I have to press buttons, mess with a mouse for a bit etc... between

every layer. yeah it sounds great in the end but I want something with a

foot pedal that is more instantaneous and fun to play with and inspiring
of 
creativity. Computers, buttons and knobs for some reason don't inspire
me. 
I use the multi-track to make my demos but I don't want to use it as a 
writing tool.

As far as the whole "repeat mode/loop smoothly" issue, could you go into

more detail here? are you saying that basically none of the loopers do
what 
they are supposed to do? That would be disappointing...
