This has been my big gripe with FFP LPVOs for years. At 1x the reticle is too fine to see. Even if the illumination is legit bright enough to make it useable in bright daylight, the battery life in a LPVO is poor enough that I don't want to have to rely on it. So basically if I'm running a 1-6 or 1-8 I want SFP with a reticle I can see without illumination and it's not really negotiable. 1-10, I still think I'd favor a SFP.
