The refare is where you see fare class mattering, not the FCM offer.

Yes, I agree with this. However, is there any indication that the FCM buy up offers that are in the reservations are more expensive for medallions? I know from experience that they are often higher than the the simple fare difference, but are they actually targeted offers or just a different sales channel?
