I’ve had mine for a few months and think it’s a pretty cool tool for working on soloing/improv.  I’m certainly no expert with it, but I’d say

Pros:  (1) pretty cool to have a bass player and drummer “in a box” (2) it’s fairly simple to operate (and if you add a 3 button aux footswitch it allows hands free operation of some of the parameters vs having to turn the knobs (3) it has a slot for a SD card so you can theoretically save loops/tracks (I say theoretically since I haven’t gotten that advanced with it…I basically use it at home to work on soloing over different keys and music styles)

Cons: (1) requires 800 mA DC if using it on a pedalboard with a power supply (other than the stock adaptor).  FYI I have used it with a single Cioks 660 mA/9V tap and it works fine…so far anyways; (2) seems a little too clunky for complicated loop parts in live use…but that could just be me being too lazy to really dig into the thing and use the SD card to save pre-recorded parts? (3) kind of pricey IMO

The Digitech Trio uses Band-in-a-Box software, I think, and although I don't have a Trio, I use BIAB all the time, and it is awesome.  You can set up any chord progression you want with any instrumentation that you want, and there are so many different styles of music included.  I think that BIAB is much more powerful than the Trio, and.quite a bit cheaper as well, but obviously, it needs a computer.
