I'll let other people who've actually used them drown out my ignorance, but I recall people who've used the FMBs have been very satisfied with the strength of the brackets. I bought the ceiling version but have not used them yet, since I bought them in anticipation of using them in my basement, whenever that whole transition happens. But yeah, if you don't mind them sticking out from the wall that little bit, my impression is it's a great solution.
