Yeah, I wouldn't over think the "tiering" of the AR. As all others have said, it's a lot of talk from those that are all about "mil-spec or it's ****". There are a lot of solid ARs in the market today. The M&P got a lot of eye rolls when it first hit the market. Then, through time and customer testimonial, it's received high marks and praise. It takes time to build a reputation and Smith's is high. Not sure what you are comparing it with but it should definitely be at the top of the list.
