Ah, right.

I think that's a major strength... provided you can still use the short range illumination feature. The S&B Short Dot is a great example of a good implementation of that. On low magnification, the crosshairs almost disappear and all that you see is the dot in the center, much like an Aimpoint. When I want the dot for close range, I prefer just having the dot (losing the crosshairs is a good thing).
S&B at 1.1x (Hokie's pic)
I really like the way Premier implemented it in their 1.1-8x, where the illumination switches to the dot automatically when you dial down below 3x.
All of my scopes are FFP. I use the mil marks extensively for hold-overs, wind hold-off, corrections, leads on moving targets (lead in mils is constant over a wide distance for a target of a given speed), etc... If I can see the mil marks, I'm going to end up using them for that stuff (it becomes second nature), and I'm going to get burned sooner or later with not having the magnification set at the right value in an SPF scope.
