I'm putting together a new upper. I like my BCM ELW but I've been thinking of getting a Melonite barrel.

Looking at the weights for the 14.5 they seem to weigh about the same but the ADM takes a .750 gas block.

Which one has the "better" profile?

Will be using this upper for carbine classes. Nothing crazy like mag dumps.
