R2-F2 may be great with Biggs.

It's true that a defense with focus it's better. Lets see the following example: Tie swarm against x-wing.

In a 2 dice attack with no bonus against a 2 dice focused defense has 22% chance to hit. Against a 3 dice no focus defense the probability it's 29%. But what if the ship is attacked a second or third time during the same round? The ship without R2-F2 will have no focus so the probability of being hit increases to 41%, while the ship with R2-F2 remains with the same probability. If we add the range 1, it increases from 41% to 59% while the R2-F2 ship has 47%. If we talk about average damage, in this situation with only 2 attacks, the average damage without R2-F2 is 0,76 against 0,71 with R2-F2.

In a 1vs1, no doubt it's preferable to choose focus. But unlike Expose, which only works on 1 or 2 occasions at most in a round (because we attack most of the times once or twice with a ship), R2-F2 may work for several occasions in a round, so it work well against multiple enemies. If we use it on Biggs, R2-F2 is where is more useful since he will be attacked several times in a round.
