yes, but only when overdubbing.

i haven't messed much with reverse on the repeater, but otherwise, yes.
note: all 4 tracks in a loop must have the same length.

no. insert on the edp is very powerful...

i have one of each and sometimes wish i had two edps.
the two combined is pretty cool, but the learning curve is more than 
double.
i guess it depends on what you are doing.
i would definitely give up the repeater before the edp.
(i considered it when they started going for $1000+ on ebay)
