I've used both Live and the Repeater in a few different kinds of situations. I think that the Repeater is still superior in the improv / ease of use situations, but live is definitely more powerful. If you were going to be playing an instrument and controlling pre-recorded loops, I'd say use Live. If you were going to be playing an instrument and recording loops live, I'd say that you definitely want a repeater. If you aren't going to be playing an instrument, then you'll probably be better off with Live.
