I agree with this (bold) statement. Except for the A2 front sight, these 'enhancements' are what most people change or want to change on their Sport or other basic AR-15.
What makes this SA AR different than most ARs is, like S&W, Springfield Armory is a well known manufacturer that offers a multitude of firearms. That coupled with a great customer service reputation they are able to take a little risk up front when they introduce a new line. And soon after they offer a dizzying number of variations. Think 1911s and other pistols.
Once this SAINT gets off the ground (which it seems like it already has), look for a "Loaded" version of the SA AR-15 in the not too distant future.
