From January, FCC tell me, the CDR remains at £18 while the off-peak
Day Travelcard increases to £24, widening the difference to £6, or
£3.95 with railcard discount. Meanwhile the Peak Travelcard goes up
from £34.50 to £36, the same increase in cash but a £1 less of a
margin because the SDR goes up from £28 to £29.

Odd. From Hassocks a ODT with Senior Railcard for FCC only is £10.55,
whereas a FCC only CDR is £9.90. That's an add-on of 65p, which I
consider exceptionally good value.

Aren't those fares set by Southern rather than FCC?

Not the "FCC only" ones, which are not available before 10:00. The
"Any Permitted" SNR ODT, which is also "Not Gatwick Express" costs
£13.05. I don't know the current SNR CDR price. Before the last price
rise, the SNR ODT was £12.30 and the SNR CDR was £10.15. The FCC only
discount changed somewhere along the way.
