Same here. I use snapshots within a song and change patches per song. If we play medleys, I just ensure that the patch is set up to cater for everything required which is normally quite easy

I take it if he’s not bothered about losing everthing and starting again, I can just update with the latest updater and go straight to 2.6?
Re headphone use - that's not a biggie for me to be honest, but there has been some recent talk on the forum that you need a fairly decent set of headphones, of fairly high impedance, to get the best results. If it was me, I'd want some sort of decent monitors for home use also (I use my Altos, although they're a bit big for this) - I think there are limits to the results one can get with headphones, with any guitar processor (not just the Helix).
I'd agree on the headphones thing, and I've got a pair of Panasonic monitors at the moment, although I think i'm going to get a set of Audio Technica M50x to replace them. I'll get some monitor speakers next year when I get a dedicated music room in the house but until then its got to be silent or quiet practice due to little ones. Its probably overkill, but I work hard for it so why not?
I have a Helix LT and had a G3, the Helix has better amp models no question, and is a far superior system. But some of the Zoom effects are equally as good as the line 6 ones and some I prefer. However the Helix drives are much better than Zooms, IMO.
But to my ears, the Helix amp models, sometimes pushed with one of the drive pedal models, can certainly produce extremely good drive sounds, and clearly superior to the results I could get before using dirt pedals on my old pedal board setup. I particularly like using the Helix's "Minotour" overdrive (a Klon model) going into the Litigator amp model (a Dumble amp kind of thing) but the worlds your oyster really. Being able to use the amp models is one reason I didn't go for the HX Effects, and I do think that was the right decision in my case.
ive never got happy with the dirt pedals on Helix because but that’s probably because none of the deals I had on my board were modelled in helix
however, the Klon, Ts808, Fuzzface, OCD are all pretty spot on. There’s a few oddballs I like as well including the Line 6 original KWB which is pretty awesome
Basically my answer is: the pedals are great... if you actually like those particular pedals. If you’re not too set on a particular pedal or your preferred pedals are actually modelled in Helix then you’ll be more than happy
