The short answer is: it depends how you define "easy".

The first thing (immediately going from record to overdub) - yes, that's 
very easy.
Möbius (like the EDP) offers independent "Record" and "Overdub" commands 
- so, you start recording with "record", and at the end of your loop hit 
either "record" (to end the loop and go to playback) or "overdub" (to 
end the loop and go directly to overdub).

The second one: there's a setting which is named something like 
"AutoRecord when NextLoop" which, when activated, does exactly this. 
(@Jeff: I think details have changed w/ version 1.43, so you might want 
to chime in here).

Ah, Ed, btw: the developer of Möbius, Jeff Larson, is also active on 
this list.

Other things to consider:
    a) there are alternatives to the FCB1010.
    b) you did think about proper audio/MIDI interface for the computer? 
(just asking, because from your message alone, it's hard to judge how 
experienced you are w/ computer live audio).

Yours,

          Rainer
