Martin, Ok, perhaps I am not a "typical" Sage user but the reasons I want to call FriCAS from Sage is to provide the things that are missing from FriCAS - especially the graphics and the notebook interface. Personally I would much rather do mathematical coding in FriCAS/SPAD than in Sage. In spite of all the nasty things that SPAD can do to you, Sage is a worse "can-of-worms" when it comes to development.
Statistics over the last few years seem to show that there are not many Sage users in the opposite situation, i.e wanting to use FriCAS for something that is missing in Sage. Can you give some examples? Bill.
