FNS 9 vs FNX 9. Same Gun Shooting wise?

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the FN family. Who has both the FNS and FNX 9-mm pistols? These pistols are fairly similar, but do they shoot the same too? (Besides, yeah, pull the trigger and bang...)

Recoil wise they are also different. The FNS has a slightly lower bore axis which helps with felt recoil. Trigger reset is similar, but the FNX's SA trigger is lighter than the FNS's trigger (also, the hinged trigger takes a little to get used to if you are not accustomed to the feel of hinged triggers). With the FNS, you have the same trigger weight every time. If you decock the FNX, you'll get a long and heavy first shot and the rest will be much shorter and a lot lighter.

The initial first pull is long (not quite as long as the FNX's), but it's lighter than the first pull of the FNX. The FNS also has a short reset, meaning that you don't have the long pull for subsequent shots if you don't let the trigger all the way back again, so the follow up shots have a short trigger similar to the FNX in SA, but heavier than the FNX's SA (as long as you just go to the reset point and pull the trigger again - which is pretty simple and allows for fast follow up shots).

Hopefully that's clear. It makes sense to me, but then again, I wrote it :?:
