Not really. The beauty of FFP is that it can act like a simple duplex reticle on low magnification, and provide more detailed subtension information at higher magnification.

Using the turrets is not an SFP advantage, as turrets can be used at any magnification, regardless of the focal plane on which the reticle is placed.


I should have worded it better, SFP doesn't need the hold over as the turrets can be used at lower powers for the holdovers. The disadvantage of the FFP at lower powers is an obscure reticle. The advantage of the FFP is that at higher mags. the hold offs and hold overs don't have to be done in the head
