Here is attempt 2.
Ok. I've found part of the problem. For me, there FM3 is lacking top end clarity for sure.
In the recording, the first one is the 5150, second one is FM3. If I dial the treble, presence, or even bump those up using an EQ, the top end becomes brittle and crumbly. Not smooth and sizzle-y.

I am using the same IR through both the FM3 and the 5150. Is that what you meant?I'd suggest finding the right IR before you do anything else. "Right" meaning the one that gives you the frequencies you want to hear through your gear.
Yes, I recognize now my attempt 1 was MUCH closer haha. My apologies.Levels not remotely close. Impossible to make an absolute comparison due to that, but now the second sounds much more scooped and yet also muddy. I'll be near a guitar in 30 minutes or so, I bet I can come close to matching that tone.

Another thing, don't hit the modeled power section too hard, these are preamp generated tones (use the Output Compressor if needing more compression rather than the power section drive).
That's a great point I forgot about.Have you tried playing around with the fractal amp sim master vol levels? Maybe you have, but can make a big difference.
What Marco Sfogli shared was a revelation, reallyParticularly the Definition parameter
In my experience it's common to all the amps. I'm seriously sad to say that NAM profiles (the good ones anyway) do not have the same problem and retain that immediacy, sizzle and openness.if its not the exact same amp thats modeled, how are you gonna know if the FM3 lacks smooth and sizzle?
