I think it is quite simple, they made the FA-1W to support a larger range of diopter
correction, from -3 to +1 instead of -1.5 to 0 at the cost of some magnification.
(I have the FA-1W but don't use the correction, so an FA-1 would have been better,
or an FA-2 because I hardly use the sync terminal either)

For a lot of work the FB-1 + FC-1 action finder, despite the low magnification and
huge size,
I really love the high eyepoint (I wear glasses) and the ability to turn it 90 degrees.
Great forlow ground shots with the 15mm!
I would love to have an FD-1 for macro work, but have not found one for a reasoneble
price.
I do have the refconverter-A, that attaches to the FA-1W and has a 2x magnification
option,
but I think the optical quality with the FD-1 would be much better ...
