For smaller projects is TP7 perfect. It is really ultrafast compiler and has ultrafast and stable IDE with nice debugger.

FPC is slower - the compiler itself and the IDE too. Also don't forget that we don't have any decent sound library for FPC-GO32V2.
And we don't have the crosscompilling FPC-GO32V2 host -> FPC-DOS16 target.
However I could agree that there is no reason to prefer 16-bit protected mode from BP7 over 32-bit PM from FPC.
