Ok, thanks for the replies in my other thread with the FAL and the M1A. Hopefully the responses from this thread will help me reach a final decision.
So, please do not suggest a FAL, this is between these two guns only:

http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=85539
Armalite AR-10A4 Carbine and Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad.
Things I like about both, and the rest is up to you guys...
M1A Scout:
Better iron sights, but not by much
Cleaner operating system (no direct gas impingement)
Feels more like a "rifle" than the AR
Less "fragile" than an AR
AR-10A4 Carbine:
Optics (much easier than M1A)
Lighter weight (.308 rifles are heavy enough...)
Familiarity with AR-15 system
