Default Should I go flybarless?

I am looking to purchase my first big heli, I'm looking at 50-90 size (600-700) and I can't decide if I want to take the flybarless route. I'm an ok heli pilot I do a lil 3d like inverted hovering but that's about it, so a regular head design works fine but I have read that with a FBL head you need to purchase a 3 axis gyro system and I guess that can be setup to make the heli a little more stable tho the price is kinda steep. I like the clean look of a FBL system but is there a big performance difference? Is it worth the hassle to set one up for an intermediate pilot? Also if anybody could point me toward a newbie FBL page that would definitely help. One more thing do FBL systems put more stress on the servos? It seems like slightly higher torque servos might be needed but idk I'm pretty new to the whole scene. Thanks.
