I have the FS60/FC76 combo, and it's the perfect travel setup for me. I don't know how the views compare to a 60Q, but the increased aperture suggests a litte more resolution perhaps. The focal ratio of 7.5 is a bit more relaxed than the FS60 on its own, and I've yet to see any aberrations that are worth mentioning. Because it is in 2 separate modules of roughly the same length, the whole thing will fit in the same small carry case that I originally bought for the FS60 only. It really is very compact for transport, especially when combined with orthoscopics rather than super wide angle EPs, and using 1.25" rather than 2". I often observe with the 60mm only for its sheer speed of setup & the 76 gets attached when conditions warrant.

Bottom line: the FS60-FC76 is almost as compact as the FS60 alone, but allow a couple of minutes extra for setup if attaching the 76 in the field. I understand the Q module will work on this combo also.
