I've tried em all, and I think the Fractal edges it for sounds. But it's marginal...
I actually miss my Kemper, and could be tempted to get another in the future.
It’s predominantly the smaller footprint and my curiosity to try Fractal which I never have in the past. (Which I’m sure you identify with ).
Subtle but high quality effects — reverb, chorus, tremolo and delays along with 3 or 4 sweet, convincing amps ( clean to Americana/blues type o/d, rarely more rock, and not metal sounds) are paramount.

After experimenting for a while, I decided against it.
While the FM3 has a few nice effects not available on the Kemper, I thought the actual amps sounds are quite a bit better on the Kemper, especially for clean and edge of breakup amp sounds. That's more important for me plus the Kemper offers better recording options than the FM3 for my uses as well.
Again really useful. Thanks.
Maybe I need to stick with the Stage.
Gas and curiosity are cruel afflictions!
You don't have to go beyond the basics to get a great sound but if there's a tone in your head, you should be able to get it from the Fractal stuff. My understanding regarding Kemper is that you have to search to find the profile that is "just right" - I guess that's the difference between the Fractal modelling approach and Kemper's profiling approach.
I've had an FM3 and now an FM9 and think they are both excellent, but I haven't tried a Kemper.
Another important thing to consider is how you are going to hear/ monitor it - I'm guessing as you have an electro acoustic that an FRFR speaker/ monitor is pretty key, as opposed to a power amp and cab?
Your choice in this area can have a big impact in how satisfied you are with the tones you're hearing.
All my sounds are via PA, In fact 3 x Bose S1Pro + live (Just me and a female singer) and 1 x S1 Pro + at home and practising. I need a slightly fuller sound to fill things out as no other instruments, especially just using single coils.
1. The KEMPER way - is to find an amp you like the sound of, and profile that amp. You get a copy of that amp but arnt getting away from that (in the one profile obvisouly).
2. The Fractal way is to give you the tools to create the sound in your head. You wont get as close a a kemper will if you want a sound youve heard, but will get you exactly what you want to hear if you if you can use the tools.
3. Fractals FX are just better, as is the routing. Its usually the decider if you dont mind either workflow.

I will make the comparison and decide
Thanks all for help/advice.
