If one puts any stock in the opinions of the Euro and UK guys, the general consensus seems to be that the FWB is fine at 12 ft lbs once you sort out any poi shifting, but above that power level they get a bit harder to deal with.
That is doing the conversion yourself, as it seems to be somewhat involved and not just plug and play. The opinion seems to be that it would be best left to a professional who has a track record of doing the conversions.
I have a FWB P70 that is converted to a 20 fpe FT rifle by Alan Zasadny, and it is very accurate, almost completely dead to shoot, and poi shift free due to having the shroud milled with dovetails for a scope rail like my 800 above.
IF you are serious about turning your 800 up, I would send it off to Alan for his treatment, budget allowing of course.
