Do I need that EDP?

My apologies for sending this before with no subject!  New to the list, as 
I say.  I'm posting again in case you might have summarily deleted the 
last one:

Hi!

I’m  new to Looper’s Delight, which I discovered only days ago, and though 
little more than a novice in the craft (though a fan since Music For 
Airports, 
which should give you some idea how long I’ve been about) I’m looking to 
upgrade.

I’ve been playing in the attic for quite a while with an RC-20 (A very 
early 
adopter! the original, no undo) and a DD-20 as the looping part of my 
setup.  
Tons of free form fun, some good ideas, but ultimately I feel hamstrung by 
the 
lack of ability to synch the RC-20 to anything.  And since I started to 
read the 
threads here over the last days I’ve really benefited a lot from the 
discussion 
of feedback capability (which I’ve been using the DD-20 to cope with) as 
well, 
especially on the RC-50, for which I thought I was waiting.  The 
Boomerandg 
looked cute but didn’t really seem to have enough differential capability 

>From all I’ve read and heard you all say, the EDP with the pedal sounds 
>like the 
gold standard (apart from the Eventides and such) and the only real 
complaint I 
think I’ve seen is that it’s not stereo.

I’m ready to bite the bullet, but it’s still going to sting,.  
Unfortunately, 
you can’t generally walk into the local Guitar Pit and try a lot of this 
stuff 
out, so I’m asking you guys and gals your advice.  The 198 seconds seems 
short 
these days, but none of you seems to have issues with it.  BTW, when you 
switch 
loops, will the 1st loop fade 0r does it just stop?  I’ve been reading the 
on 
line manual but seem to have missed that.

So, someone talk me out of it.  Or into it.  If you the bucks and had it 
all to 
do right now, would you buy the EDP or something else?  Or wait for the 
EDP Plus 
Ultra?  :-)

Thanks for your thoughts!
