For what it's worth: 
I have identical or almost identical scopes with the same reticle (#20 Zeiss Plex) on 4 different firearms (3 of them Sako 85) used for hunting. The triggers are all adjusted for the same pull of weight. 
This type of familiarity seems important to me. I did look at the 4W reticle by Swarovski (but not the model you mention)and it did seem too thin too me. I wished the thin lines to be thicker and the thick lines to be closer together.
Switching to a different reticle may seem a bit uncomfortable, even if the scope is very competent. 
If the scopes that you have worked for you, why not buy another (with similar reticle and better optics)? I took that approach. 
I am getting a Conquest with a #20 Plex for my muzzle loader.
