Don't try this at home with FFP.
What’s the difference in this instance?

I like the reticle to appear the same to my eye in all situations.

2ndFP reticles can be sized for optimal visual acuity in all zoom ranges. Just have to suffer the changes in subtension on the target image.

When one is using top end magnification of 15X or maybe 18X then most precision field shots will be dialed to max magnification.

If I can just dial the zoom to the max stop and shoot under hunting conditions then 2ndFP rules.

If the scope has more Xs than I can always use in in normal LR hunting shots then FirstFP is a better choice but I don't hunt with scopes over 18X.

You have done very well with more top end magnification and that is where FirstFP shines.

If any one could break flat straight aways clays with a FFP it would be you.
