The Looperlative LP1 was never meant as a replacement for the EDP.  
Because 
they are both looping devices there are some common functions.  However, 
beyond the basic looping features, they have different feature sets.  
Which 
device suits you best can only be decided by you.

If you want to use the absolute latest features added to the device, then 
yes, you are part of the testing team.  However, if you stick to only the 
stable releases of the firmware, then you would be fine.  The LP1 is now 
over 2 years old and used on a daily basis by several people.


I've said all along that there it is good for the looping community if 
multiple manufacturers offer devices to choose from.  No one device can be 
the perfect solution for every person.  It is important for different 
devices to exist to give people the flexibility of choosing what works 
best 
for them.
