Buy a Stomp, sell the Stomp, buy it again, but then sell it again, but then buy it again, and then sell it again, and buy it again, but then sell it again, and regret it?

As an owner of both, I say go for the HX Stomp. I was able to haggle the price down with my Sweetwater rep to $500. You will also get the FREE “Total Recording Bundle” which gives you Cubase LE 12, Helix Native, and the Metallurgy Collection:
And it’s in-stock.

a popular and common MISCONCEPTION with Fractal Audio stuff. Sure it may look daunting at first but you do not need to go in deeper water to get great results. Editor on PC/Mac is you friend.
Also FM3 has far better presets IMHO than Helix to start with, and build your tones. I rarely touch any sub menu unless I have to. And if you do, it will only reward you with more tweakability. It is not that bad at all as many ppl depicts.
I have both FM3 and Stomp and love both. but if budget is not an issue I would definitely go for FM3 in the long run, if not both.

That's what I'm doing. I listened to a bunch of amp models and the models in the FM3, FM9 & Axe-FX III are outstanding. That's going to be fun as hell. I emailed Fractal to put me on the waiting list a couple of days ago. Time to upgrade my tired old monitors.
Now, regarding the latency issue...
I wasn't planning to use the FM3 as my interface. I figured I would just run it into my interface. Still a latency issue?

don't quote me but not so sure what that latency issue was about (I recall reading about it). I have no issue with mine.That's what I'm doing.

There is no latency issues with the FM3 itself. There is a USB driver issue where the incorrect latency is reported to the DAW (all interfaces have some latency) causing recorded guitar tracks to be misaligned on playback. I had this issue with Reaper, others with other DAWs. You want have the issue if using another interface.
