Footwork (I'm just going to keep calling it Footwork) can be counted on to consistently bring the best bookings, crowds, and atmosphere among Toronto clubs - and its most recent iteration has only taken that up a notch. However, there is also the "experience" of a club to consider - namely, its aesthetic qualities and the visceral spectacle of it all. To which end, I'd agree with what you seem to be getting at here. FW is a reliably good, consistently enjoyable place, but its nights as viewed independently have never been the most memorable. Smaller places like this are generally going to be at a natural disadvantage to some of their larger, more legendary peers though.
I'm too young to have experienced such venerable institutions as Industry, but I can at least remember the likes of Circa and Guv before it sucked. And those made for some pretty damn memorable experiences...but on the other hand, they never had the same breadth of well-curated nights and warm vibes that FW has. But, I know how much of a challenge operating a club can be, especially when it comes to securing a good location in Toronto. And overall, FW is easily the best club in the city today and probably like...the third best in North America after Output and Stereo. So, I'm not going to fault them for not having 40 ft. ceilings, a 2,000 person capacity, and a 500,000 gallon shark tank suspended in the middle of the room.  Still though, just as far as the physical space goes, BLK BOX and 99 Sudbury are my favourite mid-sized venues in Toronto.
