New Members, please educate yourselves and quit buying into all of the negative rhetoric when it comes to the FM3 updates. The FM3 has received some of the drives and enhancements from the Axe III (FW 10.0), just not the latest one (FW 13.0). The drives in the FM3 are excellent and will always be excellent. The Axe III's updates are not going to somehow change how the FM3 drives sound and feel.
It's been stated several times before; the FM3 may not receive all of the "enhancements" or updates the Axe III gets. The FM3 doesn't have the processing power of the Axe III, period. It's also been stated that any features the Axe III gets that can be ported to the FM3 will be ported. It's always the same theme though; people want the flagship for half the cost.
If the FM3 gives you what you need, in its current form, buy it. Comparing it to the Axe III and hoping it will somehow keep pace with updates is ridiculous. The FM3 is not going to sound worse over time; leaving it with the current firmware, it will sound exactly the way it currently does 10 years from now. However, it wouldn't be a stretch to say it's going to sound better in the future with firmware updates.
If you're falling for the FOMO rhetoric and lamenting the lack of support from Fractal, either buy another product at the same price-point and live with its shortcomings or spend more to get the Axe III. Or quit expecting the unrealistic and look at the FM3 as a unit that allows users to spend less and reap the benefits of the best modelling platform on the market with the best support of any product on the market.
