Ron: "not so much" CAN appear by itself, if the other part of the comparison is just IMPLIED (i.e., not actually written at all).
e.g., The property owners replaced the old statue with one that was not so much a reminder of the building's unpleasant past.
if both parts of the comparison are actually written, though, it's "not so much X as Y".
