I don't think any other module applies as many effects. For some reason the 2080 stood out to me, and I'm thinking that's the only one, but I wouldn't swear to it. secondly, I have no idea how hard it would be to switch FX. I suppose it depends on your controller and sequencer. I use the Roland XP-80, which is its own keyboard and sequencer. On this it is very easy; I don't know how easy it is using other controllers and sequencers to run the module.
