The gun/caliber you select should be determined by what you are trying to accomplish? Are you looking for shooting competition as a means to an end, or and end in itself?
I started shooting with the gear I already had, even though it wasn't really suitable, because I wanted to become more proficient with my gun. After a while, I wanted a gun and gear that took maximum advantage of the rules, so my gear wasn't "holding me back".
I'd suggest that you shoot your FNX for a while, look around at what the experienced shooters are shooting, and make an informed decision in a year or two.
Most "top shooters" (pros) are shooting the gun that their sponsor provides for them, so I would generally ignore what they shoot, and look at what the top locals are shooting.
Mr Borland has it about right.
