Game changer for dialing presets!

Yeah for sure, a lot of PA speakers will have a response that isn't flat compared to a quality FRFR. So if that QSC 12.2 is your personal monitor on stage you'd keep using the Arc with it, or you can try to create an IR to use straight from the AxeFX3 to the QSC, like I did with the VENU360. IMO...
