Protein is the most expensive part of the feedstuff. If they do good on 16% then it's more efficient to feed it.
Leghorns do fine on it, but heavier dual purpose breeds seem to need a little more.
A lot of times I feed Flock Raiser simply because of the ages of my birds. In the limited times that I have all laying-aged birds I usually get layer feed because it's somewhat cheaper and has calcium.
