Either of those options will be thornier than a plain "NC" will be.

One practical example. Walmart's unofficial pricing policy for its
vendors is: "fair compensation is less than it costs you to produce
the product."
Scenario one: Your music is distributed under the BY-SA-CFE licence.
Their idea of "fair compensation" will be zero dollars and zero
cents.
Scenario two: Your music is distributed under the BY-SA-FCR licence.
Their idea of "fair compensation" will be one dollar and one cent.

Whilst either a BY-SA-NC-FRE or BY-SA-NC-FCR licence would disallow
both of those scenarios, would the resulting complexity clarify things
more than the current BY-NC-SA?
