Quoted: FN has solved the ambi issue well with the F2000 so ejection patterns can be a moot point in the correct configuration

FN has 'solved' the ambi issue with a design that is, IMHO a disaster waiting to happen if deployed outside of a (relatively) clean urban environment...
Most rifles have a very LARGE ejection port to allow cases to clear the weapon and avoid jamming. The FN2000 has a small tube the size of a .223 case.
If that tube gets jammed with FOD, or if a case doesn't make it all the way in & gets caught in the bolt, you are fucked...
Further, the FN2000 makes it harder to fix any potential jams, since the ejection port (Which is usually how you reach into the breach area & clear out malfunctions) is hooked into the ejection-tube system...
It's an interesting concept, but I'd be a little suspicious of it's 'field readiness'....
