FFP worth it? Depends.

It is golden if you miss your first shot as it tells you EXACTLY how to dial for the next shot.
If you hit first shot, no difference between 2nd and 1st focal at all...

FFP is great in that you can use the reticle on any power.

Some of my SFP scopes have reticles that work on one or two powers, not an issue when shooting steel- targets when using those powers.

Thats good in theroy and in target ,steel shooting situations etc but hunting maybe not so relavant .IE most of the areas I hunt in you would rarely see a miss as it just dissapears into the scrub or tussock.You also have to be able to spot your own shots and be able to be able to recognise your original POA if the aniaml moves off and the be sure the miss was a bad read on conditions that you have to adjust for and not just bad shooting.Maybe some rocky spots or clay pans it could be usefull?

I am in no way a long range guru,probably more of a bunny in fact.
My 2 cents. a vx3 has the same double sprung adjustments as the mark 4(and reputably better low light ability with the index matched lens coatings) in a lighter chassis. If you want to throw it down a cliff and then shoot a thar at x tho yards Mark 4 otherwise vx3
