Reading all the comments it appears to depend on where you live more then anything else.If your are up in the PNW where it is cool and damp alot of the time, you will most likely not use a FB as much. Most other loacations where it is warmer and dryer, I think you'll find most folks love their flybridges. The two bigs other things to consider at:
1. How are your knees and ankles ? Lots of stairs.
2. For most of your criuising grounds, do you need to contend with bridges, that will be required to open, to let you pass ?
I've always had a flybridge and live up their summer or winter. But winter in the CA Delta is hardly considered winter by most. I still own coats from my time in New Hampshire that i have not worn in 30 years,, but i keep them as a reminder.
