This is certainly a valid method, but not useful if you don't want to convert your FP to a CIM, i.e. you want to use the GEM directly with the speeds and torques that the FP normally outputs, not something geared to replicate a CIM.

Same ratio as what? If you wanted to use the 3.67:1 ratio of a GEM 500 gearbox with an FP, it wouldn't be very helpful to put an AM Planetary in between (now you have ~10:1 ratio).
