In a shallow field you can beat strong alliances regardless of FCS. If you still decide to run an FCS, there should be no reason why it has to be tall. If you are only FCSing you will promote defense. A much better style is a run and gun style similar to that of 469.

What if you get picked by a good floor-pickup like 33 whose cycling isn't all that great?
What if you're completely outgunned in a cycling battle in a qualification match?
Full-court shooting is a game-changer. It forces your opponents to alter their game strategy to deal with your full-court shot, and if they can't block you, they likely lose, especially if you can then pick up your own misses and shoot those. Even 2-point full-court shooting is deadly provided those discs aren't going to be scored otherwise.
Ex1: If you DON'T block 67, you lose. They can score over 200 points on their own.
Ex2: 2169 in Galileo is arguably the best dedicated full-court shooter in the world. Their FCS game is so #solid that they were the only teleop threat (that was leveraged) on their divisional finalist alliance. Their FCS shot was also difficult to block because of it's high release point.
