Or at least that the workhorse, reasonably priced, easily obtainable FC's are at the least quite decent

Not just quite decent, but very excellent...

Anyone try the new FM's? Less values available, but Panasonic says they're even better than the FC's.

I will be using them in my upcoming PPA/STEPS. However, I won't be able to A/B with other PPAs with different caps. I believe the differences will be so minimal anyway.

But yeah, they're technically superior and I prefer their black appearance as well. I feel in signal applications they will noticeably outperform FCs due to their much lower impedance, but not much so in power supply applications.
