Metronome vs Drum machine

Hi David,
You mentioned the importance of using a metronome. What is your view of using a drum machine instead? A friend offered to use his hand-me-down Korg Beat Boy. (http://www.korg.com/us/products/tuners/beat_boy/) Is it good for harmonica practice? What do you suggest?

Drum machiens can be fun to play along with, but can hide your rhythmic weaknesses.
A metronome gives you just one thing: the naked beat.
If you're rushing or lagging and not aligning with the beat, you'll hear it. Ouch!
Cruel medicine but oh so good for your time.
