Menthol, the M&P Sport is really a bargain. It's missing a dustcover & forward assist. The dustcover is nice, but not a deal breaker. The forward assist is a good way to turn a minor jam into a major jam. The melonited 1:8 5R rifled barrel is a darn good tube. It won't be quite as durable as chrome lined (far more durable than untreated or unlined steel though), but it should be more accurate. All you need to do is spend an extra $20 to replace the handguards with a set that has aluminum heat shields. S&W has proven that they know how to build a good AR, even if it isn't Mil Spec in all places. DPMS has proven that they'll cut every corner you can think of on their AR-15 type rifles.
