Hello Jeff,
yes, I looked at the FCB-1010 - and decided to buy the FC-50 for two 
reasons:
1) There is no space left on the floor under my keystand. I've just 
counted pieces of gear (without the new controller for Mobius) on the 
floor - from various Switches over Wah/Volume to a Midi-Basspedal, so I 
needed something small and with the ability to connect the expression 
pedals in a flexible way - so that they can stand where they just fit in...
2) I wanted something I don't have to program as I often found myself 
doing Midi-Troubleshooting rather than playing my instruments. The FC-50 
is indeed of a very "static" character. Somehow I have the feeling my 
setup is a bit too flexible for me to handle ;-)))

I thought that Mobius would do the flexible part here - and I still 
think it does, just reading things about Mobius scripts on the list. For 
instance: is Record/Play/Overdub with only one button possible? Or would 
I need  a programmable foot controller like the FCB1010 for this? If 
this is the case I went in the wrong direction...
