Just updated following JimFist's instructions and they worked flawlessly! Thank you for the useful post!
The new Flip Top is awesome and I LOVE the new version of GuitarLab!
Hopefully, Zoom will continue to add new patches, amp sims and effects going forward!
They will, just don’t hold your breath between updates, unless you really like blue!
Coming from a long time Zoom user, they are few, and far between!
But when they come, it’s like Santa came.

Zoom's news item refers to the six new patches, but I don't see them anywhere. What am I missing?
Yeah, that's what I thought, but I went through all 150 patch slots (half of which were empty, of course) and didn't see any of them. I did learn that someone at Zoom needs to work on their UI skills. Ahem.
Fortunately, I decided to look through that mostly-Japanese page to find the link that downloads and installs the patches. Thanks!
Hoping that the new Guitar Lab interface inspires folks to be more liberal with their custom patch sharing. I like trying other peoples’ setups, especially how they organize for live performance.
I thought I had posted this here, but apparently it was on the B3n Facebook page.
Go to the News tab in Guitar Lab and click on the link for FlipTop Update. On the resulting page, go to the section in the right-hand column that says ADD THESE PATCHES TO THE PATCH POOL and click on the link that says B3n Users. This will do just what it says, and then you can load them from the pool to your B3n.

In that case, I can guarantee that will be possible with the ZPI within the next few weeks. Patch switching is trivial for the n series pedals - it looks to me like the other ZPI goodies - full control of everything (incl expression pedal control of any parameter, multi pedal control, scenes, setlists etc etc) - should be possible too.
Please keep watching the facebook page - it's been very quiet for quite a while but is about to burst out.
I don't own the B3n, but did own the B3 at one point.
I am almost certain that the amp and preamp models in the B3n are perfectly capable of driving a poweramp, in this case the poweramp in your powered cab.
Not 100% sure, but quite sure, and no harm in checking it out for yourself.
Come to think of it though I am not really sure of if the B3n has an output that runs on line level and impedance like the B3, otherwise you might run into problems and might need something like a DI box in between.
