I wouldn't buy the Echo Pro based on its midi sync
capabilities. It will not sync in loop mode &, from
what I hear, syncs badly in delay mode. The selling
point for the Echo Pro would be the extended loop
time & the ability to store up to 99 delay presets.
You can only store 3 on the DL4.

The selling point for the DL-4 would be its compact-
ness. The only thing you might need to add is an
expression pedal. With the Echo Pro, I believe you
would need a midi pedalboard for even the simplest
operations.

I think you'll have fun with either one you get.
I have a DL-4, but would probably buy the Echo Pro
if I were shopping today.
