The RP-90 looks to be the updated version of the one I have (the RP-80). I think the guy at your guitar store summed it up well - it's fine for noodling around with at home, but wouldn't cut it for live performing. The drum patterns are fun to play along with (and help you work on your rhythm/timing), the tuner is useful, and the expression pedal works fine. A lot of the patch settings from the factory are pretty "over the top", but you can fix that by twiddling around with the settings.
The downside is that if you get too obsessive about tweaking the patches, you can end up spending more time messing with the unit than you do actually playing your guitar. As long as you can avoid that "trap", it's a lot of fun and a great practice aid.
