I may be going against the general consensus here - but I much prefer the First Class lounge B over the FCT. The Fcl B mirrors the interior of the FCT, but has a nicer bath (with spa jets), and the views of the apron with planes coming and going make it just that bit more interesting to while away the hours. The FCT on the other hand overlooks a car park and isn't in the least bit interesting in any sense of the word. The staff are lovely at both and the F&B offerings the same. The only thing you lose if the private security and possibly a car to the plane - but if your flight leave from anywhere other than B you get a car from the Fcl anyway.
Whilst a lot of what you are saying here is correct, getting to FCLB can be a challenge to pax who are not regulars at FRA , involve unessesary transit security & you only have a dedicated PA at FCT.
