Makes me want a black LPC

No, it had to go once Helix Stadium got announced I really enjoyed how that box sounds, but the UX, while improved since the last time i tried it, is still terrible, to the point i spent more time fighting it than playing.

The streamlined UX on the AM4 & VP4 seems to be heaps better thou.

Funny. I’ve done the math several times, and I’d still take FM3 over the AM4 any day. The only thing that gives me a slight bet of AM4 envy is the consolidation of some amp models that have multiple models for switch positions on the earlier hardware.

I have to imagine these changes arrive in the rest of the current gen stuff at some point?

Agreed. The only way the AM4 makes sense to me is if you have a pedalboard investment of drives and other effects that you don’t want to change and want to just add amp modeling to. Otherwise the FM3 makes way more sense for only a couple hundred more. Like the price of a pedal.
