OMF....you're exactly right about the FMA manga. All of it. I completely agree with every point you made. I have v.17 sitting in the living room and I have to read it soon. And it's awesome.
The series was started after only 2 volumes (maybe 3?) of the manga came out so even those who have seen the series will be in for surprises.
And the omake pages are the shiznit. My favorite is the volume where Mustang and Falman are talking about Lust's boobs (not in the omake, in the manga proper) and part of the omake pages is a conversation between Arakawa and her editor where she asks him if the boobs can stay. I seriously laughed ridiculously loud while reading it on the train.
Everyone who likes manga should do themselves a favor and try reading FMA!!! I even got my co-worker (a 38 y/o male with NO anime/manga experience at all) hooked on the FMA manga. Sometimes he calls me at work and we talk about manga instead of work things. I enjoy that.
