When are F2s better than the orginal?

For me F2's, the potential for their possibility to be "better"/more valuable to me than the F1 Hybrid used to create thease hypothetical F2's. All lies in what was crossed to make the hybrid. If the mother or father used in the hybrid is something i'm interested in and is unatainable to me in a pure form i can make F2's and observe them for a pheno closest to the desired parent. Example If i want Elvis but can not obtain Elvis in a pure form and the closest i can come is a cross like Lisa marie. Making F'2s from a strain with a desired plant as a parent allows me to grow out the F2's in hopes of fiding something closer resembling the parental pheno i may be in search of.

At least thats how ive come to understand all this genetic stuff, its one of the last topics i chose to tackle and im still in the midst of learning.
