The FOIS actually does not wear much smaller than the vanilla. Most of the size reduction is just from the removal of the crown guards. The crystal, bezel, and dial are all identical (or virtually identical) to the standard model. And the straight lugs give the impression of a long lug-to-lug length, though I don’t know how L2L actually compares on the two watches.
I didn’t care for the more sterile look/feel of the sapphire. The metal hands I could take or leave in their own right, but ultimately to me the all-white stick hands just look and feel more Speedmaster-y to me. It’s just part of the look. I also agree with [MENTION=3421]Vicious49[/MENTION] that the 19mm lugs were somewhat annoying in terms of strap versatility.
