My jump drive is only limited by my nav computer and you can't track my direction once I jump. It's not a matter of speed, it's a vanishing act.

and the fact that the Galactica FTL style is instant. With adequate calculating you could jump past planetary shields, hell the Galactica style FTL makes combat jumps useful. While most forms of hyperspace it isn't, as you jump behind someone you are facing the wrong way or need to take a wide arch to face their backsides with BSG Ftl you can jump around in battle effectively. Though I'd say a Mercury Class would be better with some of the ships going around, purely for missile spam, bow cannons and an even greater Viper/Raptor compliment.
