It isn't about resale value in and of itself, or the roll marks for that matter. The "issue," if you will, is that you'll pay double (if not more) for after-market upgrades to your weapon. You could have gotten the same upgrades at half the cost (or less) if you had ordered your weapon with the modifications directly from the manufacturer, as they typically base their pricing on OEM/white-box components.
Should you ever go to sell your gun, you will almost never get anywhere near to your money back out of it, and relatively very few people (myself included) are interested in a non-factory configured, self-modified weapon. When compared to the fact that you could have sold your original weapon at a slight loss, then purchased your new "left side of the chart" gun with everything you wanted, you come out about spending the same amount that you would have for your upgrades to the original weapon. With that in mind, the logical choice is clear.

I have to agree..
I own a bushmaster and have never had an issue in the past 2 years. I know for sure 2000+ rounds have been put through it because we buy in 1000 round boxes. I recently started swapping out parts after learning about some of the issues with bushmaster but still I think after 2000+ rounds without a single issue (stripping, extracting,ejecting) and great accuracy I would much rather spend the $900 on my current rifle than the $2000+ on one of the "quality" weapons.
If you would have told me I could spend $900 or $2000 and had the same reliability I certainly would have taken the $900 deal. I'm fine with 2 inch groups at 300 yards. With the leftover $1100 I saved I'll just go buy another Bushy and have a backup haha.
