To each their own. For me I like them and am going to put a set I'm my M&P also
There is no clearance issues on the M&P10. I have fitted the larger diameter set to mine with the flatter profile locking plates with no problems whatsoever.
The most important benefit of using these upgrades is that wear (in the long term) of the pivot pin holes in the aluminum receiver is entirely eliminated. Even the standard diameter pin size will provide their anti-wear characteristics to your gun.
