Some parts i agree but from first hand experience i can tell you actually especially in a studio, recording situation Axe FX 3 is overkill for %99.99999 cases cause %99.99999 all those effects, reverbs, delays etc...will be done in DAW and most you need is pre amp fx, amp block and cab block. That's why i allways suggested and made also buy 4-5 friends (who are producers and mostly stay in their studio) the Ax8...they are/were happy and never missed anything from Axe FX 2.I'm going to respectfully disagree with you there. FX3 has IR Capture, and about twice as much horsepower. It's the Flagship, and there will always be a market for it, especially in studios where real-time foot control isn't super necessary, or with larger acts where nothing but the best will do.
I think for many users, the FM9 is going to be the FM3 killer. Lots of AX8 users didn't want to go with the FM3 because it was too small and underpowered, and the FM9 fills in the gap between the FM3 and the FX3 perfectly.
