I also prefer the specs of the the new mid-length MOE over the other two.

• 4150 CMV
• Melonite Treated
• 1:8 5R progressive rifling

The mag-well is flared. The forward portion of the mag-well is serrated for grip. The finger shelf above the trigger. The enhanced flash hider.

According to the S&W website, the mid-length MOE also comes with the Magpul "Art of The Tactical Carbine" Volume 1 & 2 DVD's. I've watched both volumes, and they are very informative.

The mid-length MOE also has all the Magpul Accessories you would have eventually put on. It's got all the Magpul goodies I put on my 15-Sport.

Now if you really are impatient, then out of the two you were looking at I'd go for the model with the rails.
