I had a KAC SR25 ECC, and sold it for 2 LMT LM8MWS rifles. I'm not sure what the market is at right now, but $1,900-$2,500 was the current price point for a chrome lined LMT a couple months ago.
If I was going for a light weight "battle rifle" I would go SCAR H for the weight factor alone... but add a Handl lower to accept SR25 mags.
For everything else (DMR, Do all 7.62 rifle, long range) go LMT.... being able to go from a pinned 14.5" CL 7.62x51, 18" SS match 7.62x51, and 20" SS match 6.5CM within a minute is an awesome feature.
FWIW, I've taken my 6.5CM setup out to 1,200 yards, and had no problem hanging with guys shooting bolt guns.
