Normally, I'd go S&W and not look back. Other than not having to clean it as much, I'm not sure what other benefits or drawbacks the piston systems have. From what I can tell, this rifle is normally at least $1000. I'd still need to get sights, so I'd have to add that to the price. All told, it sounds like the AA is the better "deal", but the S&W is a known company to me for a cheaper initial cost.

That deal is for a "blemished" rifle... I'm picky, so no way I would buy a blem rifle sight unseen for my first AR. Like I posted earlier, the piston is proprietary. If something in my AR breaks, I can run down to my local shop and get the parts to fix it, same day. That may not be the case with a piston AR. With that said, this doesn't look to be a bad deal as long as you can live with any cosmetic blem you may receive.
