I'm also VERY disappointed in the tape simulation as well as the bit reduced delays. I guess as usual in this industry the hype often outweighs the actual functionality. I had heard from many folks that this unit had a great analog/tape simulation and it definitely does not. I woudl say that this unit sounds like a typical rack delay in a floor form factor. That in itself is a nice selling point but kind of misses the boat compared to modeled delays like the DL4 (with all its inherent weaknesses) or the FractalAudio AxeFx.
One thing I would suggest to the timefactor programmers is to pick up a Diamond Memory Lane which is analog and has a supurb delay mod along with a t-rex digital delay pedal which has a supurb and very sweet analog-sounding delay tone.
