Having played (and currently owning) both Portable 3rd and 3G, I can say that I disagree entirely with your sources, Portable 3rd is a lot harder than 3G (but neither are as hard as freedom unite imo). Dont get too caught up in the 'g' rank quest addition, they were an addition for MHFU as an expansion rank to the usual quests, in this (freedom unite) they were almost impossible. As 3g's monsters are comparitively easier, its G rank is also.

Plus 3G lacks the more technical weapons, mainly the bow, hunting horn and gunlance. It could just be that I'm a gunlance and hunting horn user mainly (both considered two of the most technical weapon trees) but portable 3rd was leagues more difficult than 3G, and I have friends in Japan (i've lived and worked there for quite a long time previously, hence why I even still like games at all) who think portable 3rd is even harder than Freedom Unite (I disagree, but thats their opinion).

Hold on, you've played and own MH3G, but you didn't know that it has all the same 12 weapon classes as MHP3rd?  This baffles me.

I can't comment on the difficulty level.  I've only played the demo of MH3G in Bic Camera, and that was before I started on MHP3rd.
