Looper's Delight

Hello,
I'm looking to get my first
looper this summer, to start doing solo bass (guitar) shows. I'm
technically impaired, heck, I can barely work my VCR, so researching these
complicated units has left me with some questions.
My goal is to play live, so I'm
not worried about MIDI, delay, stereo, or anything fancy. I just want
something easy to use live that I can control with my feet.
I've been looking at the Boss
RC-20 and the Boomerang; if I use an external foot pedal to move between loops
with the RC-20 (I was told you could do that), and I'm not worried about playing
backwards live, is there anything the Boomerang does that the RC-20 does
not?
I tried an RC-20 at a shop, but
I was a bit confused by some of the controls. If you use an extra pedal to
move between loops, does it move at the end of the loop, or whenever you hit the
button? If it can only move one "direction" can you tap the pedal twice to
"skip" a loop (say, moving from loop #1 to loop #3), or does it have to play
through the one in the middle first?
How difficult is it to delete
old loops, start new ones, and move between them, in a live setting? I've
heard a lot of people talk about a "Undo" feature on the more expensive units,
does the RC-20 have anything similar?
I hope you don't mind the
"newbie" questions, I just don't want to get in over my head, or end up taking
something home that doesn't do what I want. This stuff is
complicated!
Thanks for your
time!
