Meh -- I have both, I love both, and I'll probably buy more of both.
YMMV.

What I don't understand is why so many ARs are black. I know you can get sand, or green, or camo, if you want, but for a lot of brands, it would be aftermarket and raise your total cost. Maybe Henry Ford has come back to rule the rifle business.
For a target rifle, you could have nice flag blue stock with your club insignia.
Cowboys are just cooler than ninjas.
Tactical rifle competitors account for about 0.1% of all gun owners I would say. Those are "military" type matches mostly, so what else would they shoot except a civilian clone of the real thing.

.223 varmint caliber is not a good HD round.
That's a pricey gun for HD also...
It's like a Burger King sandwich.
Or Legos.
No one ever said the AR platform or the tacticool accessories that seem to be ubiquitous with them are useless, just that the vast majority of the people who own them do not deal with situations that call for their many uses. So for a soldier fighting house to house in Iraq or Afghanistan an M4 is very practical and useful, but for the average civilian taking a realistic max of one trip to the range per week not so much.It's not a "useless" rifle, then there wouldn't be so many of them.
