I just use separate pedals.
Mind you I have not tried a Line6 HD 500 as yet, but probably out of your price range anyway unless you go for the HD300.
I'm in the same boat. I enjoy the simple controls of each dedicated pedal, and the choices these days are incredible.
I sold my HD500 for this reason. Yes, it sounded really good, but it still didn't suit my tone needs and desire for intuitive controls.
