Vox Lil Looper vs LP-2 vs Delaylab-with-external-battery



The local store seems to never be actually getting in the Vox Lil Looper 
I've been waiting to try out so I'm hoping someone here with practical 
hands on experience with that and maybe one or both of these others might 
chime in with a word or two. 

Vox Lil Looper is tied with LP-2 in my mind... both are battery powered, 
LP-2 has more functions but the Lil Looper is small and simple. 

It doesn't look like any of them have loop copy.  (The third option is the 
Delay lab, but no battery power built in and it looks like less features 
actual looping functions, though I like the general form factor and 
look... if I go for big and featured over small and simple.) 

If they did have loop copy, or if it's possible one will in the near 
future via an update or something, that might do it. 

My questions are: Do they feel "natural" and "right" (both in how your 
foot feels pressing it and the immediacy of execution. Sound and ease of 
use live? Thoughts about specific functions the LP-2 has to offer the Lil 
Looper doesn't. Like, it appears to have some sort of quantize function... 
does that somehow work even when not synced to a midi clock or just when 
there's a midi clock signal to show it where the one (or whatever, I'm a 
midiot... basically looking for that "lame duck" period as in the Echoplex 
manual.)

Anywhoo.... thoughts welcome since it looks like I'll have to choose 
without touching them myself. This is to be more like a sketch pad then an 
actual performance hub so price and simplicity and compactness steer me 
towards the Lil Looper, but I worry it'll feel crappy and toy-ish and that 
I'll grow board without more advanced functions, like half speed. 

THANK YOU!
