Accuracy: I'm not an expert but did not notice any significant difference in accuracy between non and BFH BCM barrels, and actually found my non-BFH BCM to have a tiny tiny edge if I was forced to unscientifically compare.
Life: Don't forget BCMs "filthy 14" was not BFH and ate more rounds than 99% of us will shoot in a lifetime.
With that said, I went BFH just because I got a good deal on the used market - I think a lot of people would be better off using the difference in $$$ on mags or ammo.
Sorry to get off topic...
