E,
Sorry for the delay but, I had to leave shortly after posting the question.
I was planning to get a VXII 3-9x40 with the #4 or a FXII 6x36 with a #4 or the post & duplex. I currently have two FXII 6x36 scopes and on my VXIIs if I'm in the stand they are usually set on 6 power. It would be used mostly for stand hunting so weight is not a factor.
The post & duplex looks like it may be a fairly good compromise but, I have not had the pleasure of actually looking through a scope with either of these reticles.
