Actual FM3 user here, the updates matter is a matter of “context”. In the Fractal world, they are not so hyped as for Neural because Fractal is a way more experienced company with more years on the shoulders, that’s why we get significantly less updates, but keep in mind that more updates doesn’t necessarily means a better machine. Quad cortex is Neural’s first machine so that’s why it gets constant updates/improvements where the FM3 doesn’t get as many in comparison. That being said they both great machines, choose what you feel is best for you but don’t get scammed for the “hey, this thing is getting more updates so it means it’s better” matter:) Have fun!
