If I wanted a factory rifle, of the two you listed, I'd pick the KAC.
The KAC comes with their back up sights, ambi lower, cut rifled barrel, gas system, and E3 bolt. They have the most refined AR platform on the market. My experience with KAC customer service was excellent.
The larue should come with some dillo dust and a 3 round test target shot in a controlled environment... Lol
I honestly don't see anything in the larue that you can't build yourself. There are lots of accurate $200-300 button rifled barrels available from reputable manufacturers. Good bolt carrier groups and billet receivers are plentiful. Better hand guards and stocks are available.
If buying a factory rifle with a heavy barrel or proprietary parts is a requirement, and you don't pick the KAC, I'd look at the Daniel Defence V11 or V7 pro rifles. Excellent product, excellent customer support/service, costs less than the larue or KAC, and in my area easier to find than either Larue or KAC. The last DMR match I attended was won with a V11 pro.
I don't know if you are familiar with Mark's online demeanor, but his keeps me from even considering buying any of his products. He's the only guy I've ever seen make fun of a competitor for spending money on research and product development. I guess tight chambers, blown primers, and stuck shell cases are problems that fix themselves. Makes ya wonder why he uses 3 shot groups for accuracy evaluations. Smh
