Im excited for the SFP 1-8. It's a LPVO, ease of use on 1X is the name of the game. SFP with a crosshair reticle is easy. My expectation is that this will be a lighter/smaller razor.
Sometimes simpler is better. I understand all the discussion about reticle pros and cons at distance, but most of these FFPs just aren't great at 1x. I think the FC-DMX is probably the closest we've come to FFP LPVO perfection, but it's still not ideal for me at 1x. Without illum, it takes some effort to "find" the reticle. I don't want to have to "look" for the reticle on 1x. I just want it unambiguously in my sight picture at all mag levels, under as many situations as possible.
