You can't compare an FAA level 4 FTD to a FFS. By definition the FTD does not have to fully replicate the aerodynamics of the real aircraft, and besides, there is neither control loading nor g forces to fine tune your flare and landing (they'll teach you that when they train you at the airline). Who wants to learn systems on an FTD ? Most system logic don't work on the FTD and, being non type rated, you won't be asked such questions at the interview. The FTD's autopilot isn't like the real thing (esp HDG knob), and who cares, as you will be hand flying in the sim check anyway.
So don't waste your time and money on an FTD. Experienced turboprop drivers may have an advantage in the jet FFS, except they should allow for more inertia and engine response lag.
