I struggle to think why you may need that when max power is 16 only. Why would you need to wind it down when shooting at 400m (using a 223), for example?

    FFP makes sense when the max power is 24+, you may well want to shoot 400m with 16x power and need the reticle markings consistent.

    Another reason for FFP with scopes with high magnification is that often the reticle hash marks are not designed for maximum power. Many scopes with max 30x power, have reticles designed for 25x power, for example Zeiss V6. FFP allows you to use the reticle at max power. But this does not usually happen with scopes with 16x power or below.
    Fully get where youre coming from, however FFP is what im used to and comfortable with for holds and dialing. However i may have to have a look at a Vortex 4-16 Diamonback SFP to see if i like it
