Therapydude I looked high and low for a Colt LE6920 under $1200 with out a Leo letterhead, I could not find one. The finish on some of the $1200 plus Colts had machine marks and bad finishes. I purchased the Rock River Entry Tactical with a few extras and chrome line barrel for way under what I would pay for a COLT LE6920

There are better and equivalent choices for less money.

What he said.
As many here have already stated, there's no majic method to building a top tier AR that either of these companies has a lock on. You'll get MUCH more for your money by going with a Bushy, Colt, RRA, or LMT. All of which make an excellent AR. I would also give thought to having Adco or MSTN do a build for you, they come HIGHLY regarded and will set you up far better then either Wilson or Baer would. Just my .02

I really like my CMMG Inc. upper, the fit and finish it top notch, and so far it's been flawless. I highly reccommend you check them out. www.cmmginc.com

For your uses, I'd likely want a Bushy M-4gery type rifle, flat-topped, with some kind of optical sight (I want to call them reflex sights for some reason 
) and about a gazillion rounds. Then use the remaining money to have a nice dinner with a pretty lady and such not!
Honestly, for the price of a Baer, it ain't worth it. They claim to have lapped and fitted recievers, etc, etc. Guess what? My Armalite match rifle RATTLES audibly when given a good shake. It will punch the X-ring as far out as I can see the round bulls-eye with boring regularity, and it has never *knock on wood* hiccupped. The extra money just pays for the Les Baer or Wilson name, it doesn't make the rifle any more accurate or reliable.

I own Wilsons and love them dearly.
Have shot Les Baer ARs. I remain underwhelmed, although they did always go bang, I was expecting more. Unreasonable expectations perhaps. Own and carry Les Baer pistols.
I own Colt and Rock River and both brands have performed without flaw in school.

I appreciate everyone's input thus far. I've added the Colt LE6920 to my list of possible candidates. However, by the time I find one for ~$1500 and add a quad rail handguard (such as a Knight RAS free float), I could have easily just bought the Wilson with quad rail and saved myself some trouble. Oh well, I'm in no hurry. Guess I'll just keep mulling it over.

My first recommendation for something in this class is an upper from MSTN and a lower built up separately. You'll get exactly what you want.
