Don,
I dunno what you're looking at, but I owned and worked with Nikon FM/
FE2 cameras for 20 years.
The FM2/FE2 have interchangeable focusing screens that are 1 stop
brighter than the FM, and the FM is on par with the MX as far as my
eye can tell, both for brightness and for magnification/eye relief.
(I fitted the FE2 "E2" screen to my FMs so mine were brighter than
the MX.)
I always found the magnification and eye-relief a bit too much ...
the F3/T's HP finder with a little less magnification suited my eyes/
glasses better.

I bought the FM, to have something to use them on.
Just for grins I just held a NIKKOR-P 105/2.5 in place
on an ME Super body.
Compared the relatively small/dim finder on the FM
the view was amazing. Actually:
T'was a beautiful thing!
