Well, if you search recent archives, you'll see that there are a few camps in the Loop device of choice. The Echoplex and the Repeater are pretty much the "top of the loop chain." I went with the Repeater, as I was very keen on having a stereo looping device with a LOT of memory for around $500. There were a few snags in the first operating system, but they've since been worked out and I love my Repeater. I find it's 4 track recording ability and programmable stereo effect loop to be amazing in the ability to mangle loops. The Echoplex also has a lot of great features too, like the ability to go directly into overdub after you end a loop on the first time. Repeater doesn't do that. You have to end record (thus starting the loop) and go back into record a second later. I don't find this to be too much of a set back, but others have stated it's of supreme importance. I don't think you can really go wrong with either device though, it more depends on what you like.
