Sell me the Digitech RP355 over Vox Tonelab ST

Hello guys, I´m from Brazil, and I must buy online, so I have no way to test the hardware I want to buy. I´m running a Fender Stratocaster with Custom Shop 69 pickups through a Fender Pro Junior Tube Amplifier.
I´m really between these two pedals: Vox Tonelab ST vs. Digitech RP355.
I´m convinced that the amp simulators on the Vox Tonelab ST have much superior tone quality over the Digitech. Is that right ?
What I´m really concerned is about the limitations on the Vox Tonelab ST about mixing effects. As I like the Gilmour and Hendrix tones, seems I can´t go with a Fuzz+Wah+Octavia on the Vox Tonelab ST right ? But what is really pushing me is the natural sound the Vox Tonelab ST seems to have over the digital artificial sounding of the Digitech. Is that right ?
Show me your thoughts please.

    Hello from the USA. Before I give my thoughts, I'd like to mention that I'll gladly send you one of each - plus a voltage converter - in exchange for one of those spectacular bikini babes Brazil seems to be overflowing with. Preferably with long hair and a charming accent and adores tall American men. :twisted:

    Sorry. Got off on a tangent there.
    I'm sorry I'm not able to give you a real review on the Vox - I've never played through one.
    I also have guitars with Humbucker pickups - I don't have a Strat. I do have one guitar with DiMarzio PAF Pro's that are coil-split into single coil mode, but it's still not a Strat...
    What I will say is that the latest DigiTech gear (RP series) has been soundly criticized for poor sound/modeling. I myself own an RP155, and compared to my GNX4, it sounds like a cat in a blender.

    By the way - here's a link to Vox manuals, and perhaps it will give the sure facts about whether or not you can combine the effects the way you want:

    Does the VOX unit come with Cubase LE 4 recording software? That's the selling point for me on the RP355.
