I just saw that in a local music store. Pretty nifty device.

Pros and cons of multi effects vs individual pedals........go!
The general principle is to use the right tool for the job. So the question becomes what are your musical goals? What are you going to use effects for?
If you only plan on playing music with a few basic timbres like clean, overdrive & an occasional modulation texture (chorus, flanger, etc.), then pedals might be more practical.
If you are considering an expensive comprehensive unit like that Boss, part of the equation becomes how much time do you want to invest in scrolling through menus, options & settings in order to get something you can use to play music?
I've performed, recorded & experiemented with a variety of multi-effects processors, floor units & rack unit. Nowdays there are software options that can do it all.
The most useful multieffects pedal I've ever had & still use is a Zoom MS-50G

It takes up the space of a pedal, but contains dozens of the most practical modulation, texture, delay, etc. device I use on a regular basis. It's also got a great tuner fuction. So it goes at the end of the signal chain after an overdrive & optional wah pedal. Simple & practical.
I have a tutorial on using pedals in a performance context.
