The MIDI jack theoretically could allow my drum machine or sequencer dictate loop length nicely. The user interface takes some getting used to (but so did the RC-300 interface) but stuff like the instant undo is great. The USB connection to load and retrieve loops to your computer works well but is a little cumbersome software wise. The RC-300 sounds clear but warm and fat isn't really it's forte. The sound quality on the Pig is top notch, clean and clear but also warm and fat. The build quality of the device and the included AC adapter seems fine. Pros on the Pigtronix: The firmware upgrades are a nice touch Boss could learn a thing or two from. That and the FC-300 make my previous 2.0 gigging rig enormous and somewhat heavy. The infinity definitely has a different functional philosophy over the RC-300 - the separate footswitch makes the Infinity more manageable size-wise whereas the 300 is as big as an aircraft carrier. I figure since I have a GP-10 the Infinity fits with the "small rig" ethic although through the VG-99 it sounds delicious on the infinity. I recently acquired a Pigtronix Infinity and external footswitch for a ridiculously low price so I couldn't let it get away. I still own my RC-300, still gig with it and use it for recordings but I am using it more these days as an audio interface - it basically is a very clean 44.1 khz 24-bit audio interface that I use for a number of things beyond what Roland thought it should be used for.
