Hello
The BOSS looper RC20/50 & Digitech Jamman both have the desired features 
as does the GNX-4 which allows the 8-track onboard recorder to function as 
a Jamman. All of these have total rec time of hours per memory card & of 
course USB. I too prefer longer loop times just to allow the piece to 
"breathe" more.

One reason many musicians are happy with rather short loop time is
that they tend to use the looper a bit like an instrument rather than
as a recording device. When you do that, ie "play" the looper, you
don't just "record something and let it repeat"; you may instantly
change all your loops as they spin side by side and the resulting
music becomes a texture that is something else than a chunk of
performed music that repeats.

Players that like also long looping time might chose a system based on
configurable hardware as a computer running looping software and an
appropriate audio interface.

That's convenient if you want to create loops in order to make actual
music of them later on. But if you play live looping music as
performance you may be more interested in catching your performance
and then a simple stereo recorder would do the job well.
