I agree. The point is that Roland/Boss have all the technology on the 
shelve. For example: perfect pitch transposing/time stretching can be 
found in the Roland Varios and V-Synth (I own one). Boss DD-20: excellent 
delay's with feedback control. If they would add that to the RC-50. Price 
tag: the current RC-50 costs $500, so $600-700 for an enhanced version 
should be possible imo :)

Little correction: it has a replace function. Feedback and multiply can be 
done using the aux-in, you can play multiple loops at once, synced or 
unsynced, different loop lengths. Btw: I don't consider all these options 
as "necessary", I could live without multiple undo, cut and paste
