I'm trying to convince myself to acquire a Repeater to accompany my EDP
(hey, it's good enuff for Torn).  The only reason I can see someone might
want to have an EDP instead of a Repeater is that with the RPTR you can't 
go
directly into overdub out of record.  That is a big boo boo, IMHO.  There's
lots of other pros and cons left to weigh, but that one thing is enough to
make me think a Repeater could lead to the sort of frustration I 
experienced
with a Jamman.  I never get frustrated by the EDP, and there's an upgrade
due this year that will just make it better.
Can't just get both, huh?
