Which pitch shifter pedal is more accurate for drop tuning?

I'm using few tunings in our band and frankly I'm tired of dragging the big rack to rehearsals so I thought of adding a pitch shifter to my small pedalboard I got so will be able to "drop" on the fly.
So, which one do you think is better in terms of authentic and tracking / no latency?

Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork
Or
Digitech Drop - pitch shifter pedal
?
Thanks.

I've owned both of these pedals. Started with the Pitch Fork because I liked the idea of being able to go up and down, and blend the two for a cool chorus effect. It sounded OK, but it added noise to the signal and the lower tunings really sounded fake to me. I bought the Drop to compare and was blown away by how quiet it is and how natural it sounds. Immediately sold the Pitch Fork and have had the Drop ever since. If you don't go too deep, you can get at least 1.5-2 steps down without sacrificing much of your tone, especially if it's high gain.
 
Thanks.

Few more friends recommended the Drop over the Fork,
We play few different tunings, lowest is C,
Most of the time its Eb so I think it will be good enough for this task.
Thanks for the recommend.
