The main functions I really want are on the orig controller (who made the great decision to put "insert" on there??)

that was me... I dont quite understand... are you ironic because very few loopers use Insert?

but you can give it more popular functions like Reverse, Speed, Replace and such, it grew into a multifunction button!

so if no newer/smaller midi controller is available I will focus on upgrading/modding the original.

seems simpler to me. 

the original LOOP delay used very cheap membrane switches with very short action and insensitive to moisture

they dont resist a heavy step, but you can protect them in various ways

or buy and expensive part, the best are probably the ones with piezo sensors.
