Zoom BS vs B3n

I currently own a Zoom B3, and while there are many things about the unit that I love, I find the pitch-shifting effects to be practically unusable. The timbre of the octaver and interval-shifters just aren't good enough, and the harmoniser has a fairly limited range of intervals.

However, I'm not sure how similar the effects in the new B3n are to the old B3, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the pitch-shifting effects are better? It'd obviously be good to know if the effects are better or the same overall, but I'm mainly concerned with the pitch-shifters as I'd like to be able to use an octaver again (I used to use the Boss GT-10B). I'd also like to do some octave-up stuff with the looper.

Thanks for any help!

The B3n is all new DSP, built from the ground up.

Zoom has stated these are the best bass effects they have ever created.
