OT: Laptop loopers, what do you do with your favorite rack gear?

Hi.

My move away from dedicated gear to the land of a G5
and a toshiba laptop is pretty much complete, but
there's one piece of gear that's still in question:

A Lexicon MPX1 multieffects processor.

Now, I love this thing, even though it's interface
isn't the best.  Sounds rich, clean and can do lots of
interesting stuff.  The problem?  It doesn't seem to
have a place in my world any longer.  So much of what
I'm doing is being generated by software.  Pretty much
everything except for my guitar and that's got all the
processing I need being taken care of with a Boss
VF-1.

I guess my question would be, does it make sense to
keep it and use it in some sort of effects loop of my
MOTU 828?  Has anyone tried this?  Is latency too much
of an issue?

Does it make more sense to sell it and go for some
sort of software package.  Maybe one of the hybred
hardware/software ones like the UAD-1?  Will I get
better performance/sound/flexibility this way?

Thanks,

Mark
