My thoughts returning to FM3 from FM9

Nice you share your experience here.
My personal experience after 2 years of FM3 is the opposite.

The FM9 is the optimum for my use.
Because I can get rid of the additional MIDI Switches with the 9 switches of the FM9 and my floorboard needs now the same surface as the FM3 floorboard. Only aspect ratio is different.
So portability for me did not change, even overall weight is similar.
And I use several presets where I just need 5-10% more CPU to get them running with the blocks and settings I want, without making compromises.
The Dual-Amp and Cab is an additional nice feature that I may use for recording, but not really needed.
 
I do need the extra switches but don’t really need dual amps or more processing power - so I went with FM3 + FC6 (plus a bunch of external switches and expression pedals). This way I have the switching for gigs where I need it, and when I don’t I can pop the FM3 off the board and go with a more compact rig. And of course for players who need even more control, they can add external MIDI controllers. The scalability is part of what makes it so great.
