Is Synergy really that good?

i dove back into fractaland yesterday after grabbing a mint condition IIXL and MFC 101 mark III board for 7 bones. crazy to think new in 2014 the XL was $3k and the MFC was $750. primarily wanted a true line level looper system and all of the great 2290, pcm, h3000 rack type fxs to boot.

I pulled out my FM3 this week and have never been happy with the amp in the room tones. I don't know if it was the new update or what but yesterday I dialed in the greatest tone through my 5" monitors with it. This is going to keep me from buying any more modules for a while.

I also never liked it in the loop of my amps for FX but I put it in my SYN20IR yesterday and it sounded great... this will save money on not needing any more pedals. I was just about to put it up for sale but wanted to give it one more try.. glad I did.

I think the original syn 800 sounds pretty good. Nice and tight amd crisp. This one might be over engineered and a bit fizzy. Sounds to me like low channel is standard 800 high channel is more of a ' modified". I have enough 800's though, not sure i need this.
