Well I have heard some shooters are winning matches with Sightron fixed 36X. So thedy might not be that much of a compromise. I don't know. I want to go fixed 36, but the thought of mirage kind of scares me. The fixed 16 I shot was an old weaver and it wasn't the clearest, I blame that on age. If they made fixed 16 with fine cross that would be a no brainer for me. F class targets are a little more forgiving on dimensions, but we cannot sling em' quick. Gotta pull and score after each shot. Probably go fixed 24, but then again. To much to daydream about for now. Keep us posted on your progress.
