It's impossible for this to be like FMA BH. That series is going to be completely different from the first anime, story-wise and art-wise. If they changed the story of Dragonball, then it wouldn't follow the manga, and that would be horrible.
Even if it was a revamp of the story (which btw I didn't know FMA BH was a
completely different story, I thought the main stuff and premise was still there i.e. mother dieing etc). A revamp of the story would convince me a veteran of the DB series to watch it. The people that haven't seen the manga take of the story could always just watch the original DBZ and not DBZ Kai. Tho I'm just giving what it would take me personally to watch it. I don't speak for the other fans of the series who make take something like that as blasphemy.
Brotherhood will follow the FMA manga, so while the beginning of it will be very similar to the original anime, after a while, it will be completely different.
As for revamping DBZ, I don't see what the point would be, even if it would interest fans of the series. The story's perfect as it is, isn't it? All they could do is introduce a new enemy, and that's been done by all the DBZ movies. Plus, it was proven by Dragonball GT that when a company comes up with its own storyline for DB, it sucks hard.
But this is kind of a revamp for the series. Cutting out all the filler and going from 291 episodes to 100, that's a big deal. It's going to be like watching a different series, except the main plot points will still be there. The action will be more enjoyable, since it won't constantly be interrupted by Bulma and her stupid shit or people just talking, and we won't have to deal with silly extended fight scenes that make one battle last for a dozen episodes. Well, hopefully we won't have to deal with that shit. Only two episodes have come out, but those are the promises.
There are a lot of good shows this season, and I can understand people not wanting to rewatch DBZ when there are great new series to watch, but to a lot of people, DB Kai is a gift from God.
