When I purchased my MP10, I was very displeased with the handguard. It had a lot of movement and was not reliable for a firm shooting grip. My first "non-bench" shot groups were horrible in comparison to shooting other rifles (and I'm a horrible shot to start with .. so it was just sloppy horrible). I exchanged the handguard with a Magpul that I had spare, and my standing shot accuracy was back to normal.
Both upgrades are good choices for your rifle, and can add benefical comfort and convenience to its use. You should assess your toolbox (both in tools and experience) and decide which you want to take on first, as both installs will have unique issues (and additional costs other than just the part) that will crop up and require the right tools and the right skillset to overcome. If you are new to AR platforms, installing the prs rifle stock is probably a good first project after replacing the grip. As you could probably tell above, I'm no fan of the quality of the stock handguard, and would change that first ... btw, I threw that original handguard in the trash ... wasn't in the least bit interested in keeping it as a spare.

This won't be my first upgrade, but my next mission is to get rid of the meat tenderizer on my shoulder for the PRS. For some reason the handgaurd doesn't bother me too much, even tho it will eventually get swapped out for the Troy, with a mako foregrip/bipod. I'm also looking into getting my barrel threaded for a muzzle break but all in due time.. If you haven't I'd recommend replacing the grip and charging handle they make for good upgrades.

I just put on my magpul poe and surprising pleased with the look, and due to the savings of getting the moe for - (30.00) vs troy trx (150.00 to 200.00), I was able to purchase my PRS for 188 out the door. I just put on my Bushnell 6-18X50 scope, with nikon 1 in risers.. Thing just looks sweet. I will be excited when I get my A2 in the mail, my PRS in the mail, and when I can contact s&w so I can order the buffer extension - they are closed until jan 2 
I do get to take my baby out for her first trial sunday up to 300 yards.. So cant wait for that!

Wow - a lot of guys loving the PRS here. I decided against it and went for the STR plus MOE grip and forend. Decision was based on my want to have M&P10 nearly the same as my M&P15 (Magpul edition). I can grab either one with no surprises. Even have Eotech on both - 512 on the 15 and 552 XR308 on the 10. Just a choice I made. Good luck on yours!
