Also Features like quality control cost money so FN's contract with company A for 100 barrels may require that %25 are checked for QC while contract with company B may only require 10% go through QC.

In my opinion PSA complete uppers offer fantastic value. I purchased a 18" CHF complete upper from them and it shoots lights out. Sub MOA. Cost me about $500 and shoots better than uppers that cost twice as much. I have consitered buying a complete upper from PSA just for the barrel selling the remaining parts on EE or keeping them for a future build.
