The Big Sky is a doddle like that. Having three presets on a single bank is great. You can have one for a subtle reverb for general use, one for a deep reverb, and one for an "effect" reverb like cloud or swell. It's easy to switch banks if you need more than 3 sounds as well.
Most of the time I use the Big Sky for a basic subtle reverb but it is nice to have some of the other effects available. The swell is good, and I like some of the more exotic ones like cloud and shimmer although I might not use them that much live. The main thing is the ease of using different sounds.

Its a lot of money that I don't have, but I'm saving up for one.

But perhaps it could be worth another audition
If that's the case, it's really not going to surprise me if zoom had some as nice, or nicer, than strymon. It's just numbers, after all.
I want to try a zoom one, but I don't think it looks user friendly enough for me. if they did the ms70cdr but in a 2 switch box, one for bypass and the other to cycle patches, it would be epic.
Apart from the other things mentioned, the other difference will be in the quality of the Analogue to Digital and Digital to Analogue converters. The Strymon ones are likely to be a lot higher up the price scale than the Zoom/Line 6 ones. I don't know how much difference they make. It might be 1%, or it might be 10%. For the price of the pedal Zoom will very much be "What are the best A/D D/A converters we can get for £2? (or thereabouts)", whereas Strymon could be spending 5 or 10 times as much.
