forget Ableton, that's for softies   ;-)

Get yourself Plogue Bidule, and use it as a host to run Mobius, and 
whatever
other looping plug-ins you fancy.
Mobius quite likely has enough of the EDP functionality for you,
in stereo (only for pc tho', are you on mac?)

Actually, I think Ableton does have a lot of useful features, but
the ethos is to replay canned samples. Generally "live" loop-people
using Ableton have some form of headphone to monitor a click track,
(or they mime the initial loop).

Really though, the choice between laptop, a second EDP, or Looperlative 
depends on what you actually want to do with it.
