Good choice on the 440! I'm going to get a second one of those myself.
Comparing the 410 and the 480 is apples to oranges in my view. The 410
is more like a phase shifter, a stomp-box-like effect, with built-in
LFOs. It's really nice, but quite different from the 480, which is a
cascaded state-variable filter. They have different uses. Listening to
the sound samples is a good way to decide.

goodly amount of DIY experience is recommended. (If anyone does this,
do let me know!)
