FTM bottom surgery does not suck! These are really incredible surgeries! Don't rely on the small sampling of photos you've seen. The majority of guys having these surgeries don't post photos online. Who can blame them when judgements like these are flying around?
You said straight up that you don't know much about these surgeries. So do some research. A good starting point:
http://www.metoidioplasty.net/ and
http://www.phallo.net/
Microsurgical phalloplasty includes a connection of genital nerves--for full sensation! Can totally be used for sex! Can look really, really good!
If you can wait around for new technologies that may or may not come, cheers to you. Most guys I know going into surgery can't wait decades, especially when the technology for sensation, sex and aesthetics is already here.
Hope this helps, Raymond!
