Okay...Unarmed Fighter Archetype gives you Improved Unarmed Strike, but if you multiclass as a Monk you get it from that as well. Can you take a different feat for one of these, or do you simply lose the benefit of one of them?
You lose the benefit if there is overlap, outside of the obvious benefit of the increased unarmed damage afforded by the Monk.
Yeah, unfortunately w/o DM houserule you don't get a feat back.
And I like doing Unarmed Fighter 1 into MoMS Monk, lets me get a base style feat and the 3rd feat in that chain w/o meeting any of the pre-reqs at all. Pretty cool for Snake Style + Snake Fang and some others.
Not a fan of Panther, and it needs all 3 of its feats to work well.
I see MoMS + Unarmed Fighter as being for the purpose of jumping past awful pre-req feats to skip to only the good stuff.

Yeah, pretty much this. Getting the best parts of Crane and Snake styles by 3rd level is pretty boss...not to mention getting to use them together. :)
I don't consider Crane style overpowered by any means, but the fact that you can use it's best benefits with weapons makes it a VERY attractive dip (MoMS Mnk) for any sort of finesse melee fighter.
