The 4-14 SFP, and FFP are going to be very similar in make up except for the Second vs First focal. That is really going to depend on how much you intend on using the reticle to range. If you will be using the reticle to range often, and don't want the worry of missing the shot due to not having the scope set on the proper mag, get the FFP. If you are going to be shooting known ranges, or don't mind making sure that the scope mag is set on the determined power for ranging usually 10, then save the dollars. Also on the SFP, you will have to convert MIL to MOA to get proper adjustment, as the reticle is a MIL reticle, and turrets are MOA. So there is that extra calculation as well.
Some may crucify me for saying this, but I have had no problems with the newer Sightmark products. http://sightmark.com/product.php?item=498&cat=215 is a decent scope also. I like their Citadel line which is a bit above that price point, much better than the Athlon offerings in similar price points. Also the Sightmark MMR reticle is MOA, so there is no conversion, as it is a MOA reticle and turrets. You can get the Citadel with MIL-MIL, or MOA-MOA.
I own a few of these in MIL-MIL http://sightmark.com/product.php?item=1083 They are robust scopes with great tracking. Price is a bit higher in the 400 range. Turrets on both the Sightmark brand scopes are lockable as well to prevent any unwanted adjustments.
