OK, now that I’m not dizzy …
Lost the reverse and octsve buttons on the foot pedal, which I use but probably didn’t register high in pre-design research polling (Boss dropped it altogether for their RCXL30; the 4500 still has it on the main pedal). I’ll bet you trigger new loops by holding the record button down (on the foot pedal). The buttons are closer together, which might make it harder to hit PLAY while performing.

But being able to sequence different movements and switching loops with the up or down switch could be amazing. A little foot pedal functionality is lost for sound sculpting — glad I bought the 2880 — but the possibilities for playing solo sets is greatly expanded. You really couldn’t switch between chorus and verse before. And you can record backing tracks and beats without switching cards. I’d need to see a demo video and the foot pedal in person though, and the price may keep it out of Guitar Center’s brick-and-mortar inventory.
