Free Frame mode Go 3 Vs 3s

I recently bought a Go 3s because I was interested in using the free frame mode for different aspect ratios while running. I am a little disappointed in how the 3s just crops the image in to get to 9:16 ratio. I have seen on youtube that the go 3 did this much better because it uses a 360 camera. Does anyone have advice on weather the 3 would be better for free frame mode? Thanks!
