Boss DD20 or Line 6 DL4?

Sorry if this has been asked many times before.. But I was just wondering what people's preference was as far as these 2 delays are concerned?

I currently own the Ibanez AD99 and Boss DD3.. I'm really just looking for something that has more features -- reverse delay, long delays (10+ seconds), etc etc.. I want to basically just have only 1 delay pedal on my board that does a good job of digital and analog delays. Are there any other delays people could recommend?

What have people's experiences been with these pedals?? .. I hear the DL4 is pretty much hit-or-miss in terms of reliability, which has me more leaning towards the DD20. Although, I have not tried either one out yet (am going to Toronto next weekend and hopefully will get a chance to)

you won't get the hyper long delays with the DL4. i think the max is 2 seconds.

the DD20 seems a bit easier to fine tune though i don't know how it's setting storage ease of use is.

the DL4 setting storage is simple and it has the advantage of the expression pedal option which can be a lot of fun.

i've had a DL4 for over 4 years and had no issues.

If I had the real estate on my pedal board, I would've gotten the DD-20. I ended up with a DD-6, which is still really cool. A buddy has the DD-20, and he loves the hell out of it, and no issues so far (he's had it three years, gigging and touring regularly).
