Most PA speakers tend to hype bass and highs. A real FR/FR is a little more 'true'. The sound is eventually going through a PA anyway, but I want the sound onstage to sound like a regular amp, without the weight and pain of miking up an actual amp.

JBL EONs have profile and EQ management that lets you negate the issues of using a PA speaker vs a FR speaker. I use mine with the Peavey Decade or Liverpool as a portable rig sometimes. AIB with the H90 and the JBL is my grab-and-go rig.
Currently, I am using the Fractal FM3 without amp models, just effects into the TM Deluxe. I also use it with amp models into a Fender FM10 fr/fr cab. I choose which one to use by which one is closest to the front door when going to the gig.
I haven't been playing live for awhile but surprised that zionstrat your GT10 is still getting use.
You can assign the footpedal to activate tuner in full heel position while assigning the toe position to toggle between manual & preset mode by just a little back&forth movement of the pedal. Ah it brings back memories as to how useful it used to be live.
I used to use that and later on went to using a simpler rig of just an OD, Tech21 Liverpool clone & zoom g1on for time based effects. But for any elaborate songs I would get the Gt10 along cause it made life so much easier for me.

My main giggers
used the house blues deluxe last night. the parking lot was icy as hell and i didnt feel like lugging gear and falling on my ass. strat->cable-> amp. dialed in a good lead sound and used the volume on the guitar to clean it up. it was only a one hour set of classic rock type stuff, though all originals, and it worked out really well
big fan of the g12-65 with the right amp. ran my trainwreck express clone into a 1x12 with the 65 two weeks ago and it sounded awesome! that head is so damn loud though
Usually it's my Orange Dual Terror into my 4x10 w/Ramrods x Ragin Cajuns or 2-1x12 cabs with Creamback 65 & 75
I run a small board in front of it. Depending on what band I am playing with I could have any number of pedals, nothing crazy Boost, OD, Delay Univibe and a tuner most likely
