| True By-pass Looper question

Hi
I like loopers for several reasons, they take tone sucking pedals out of the loop and allow you stick stuff anywhere you want on your board with the option to set two or more pedals to switch at the same time
But! there is you basic wired loop pedal, some are better made than others, then you get the Gig Rig pedal which uses relays for switching. The reason given is for purity of signal and silent switching. They cost a bit more, but are they worth it? GigRig guys do some red hot stuff, so i guess they know what they are talking about!
From Gigrig
The fantastic mini dual looper from TheGigRig gives you 2 seperate true bypass loops using our fantastic gold contact realays and true bypass design. Experience ultra quite, simple, compact switching for your pedal board.
*now with aded 'flip-flop' circuit*
From Wobo
The major improvement in a WOBO True Bypass Loopers is the use of relays instead of switches. Most switch based bypass devices use components that are simply NOT DESIGNED for switching audio signals. The relays used in the Double Looper have been specially designed for switching high-qualuty audio signals so that there is absolutely no impact on your sound.
I've used regular switched loopers for a while, never had a problem with one! I'm in the market for a new one, one loop channel and a tuner mute, will either have one custom made or get a dual looper and just use the send to the tuner, which is what I do now. Now I want a good quality looper, as my gigging board is exactly how I need it, proven after 6 months of gigging!
What do you guys think?
