It's not better. It's just completely irrelevant. The fundamental unit of measure in TFT is the hex.

I've run into RPGs that used the unit of measure "m/y" -- meaning it's either a meter or a yard -- with zero conversion, because in the end all that matters is hexes on the map, and at the resolution of usable maps, the difference between a meter and a yard does not matter.
