hello...
The St224, if it's the one you're thiking about is just as good it 
can be in it's range of price.
I sold one a month ago..I appreciated the fx section 
overall...timestretchin very good (I'mmmgonnnamakkestommpyerfeet) and 
a very nice distortion too...can be use pretty well in "live" 
situation, but has a sequencer, quite nice...problem comes when you 
want to edit your stuff on computer.
nevertheless, you can invest in an adaptator for smart-media card, so 
that you are able to load your audio loops easily to the ST. in the 
other way, you'll find .zmf compressed files, that can be read with a 
soft from Zoom corporation, but the problem i had was with the sample 
rate...i don't remind exactly, so better not to say..sample editing 
is precise enough, it allows resampling, and process direct audio 
input via the fxsection.
My point of view, grab one , 'cause they sell pretty low (i know 
that!) and it Has A Sound.
maybe you could wait also to see the Roland/Boss SP-303, wich works 
at 44Hz, has a max of 64Megs smart storage...the story doesn't say if 
it works on Alcaline or AC : )
 feel free to ask me the app to load the .zmf files  if you need it.
had it from zoom way back, but i believe it still somewher in my 
drive.
 
  Jeremy.
