I will get one, but then again I already have a 416 upper so it would kind of make sense for me. I just passed on a SCAR-H because I knew this was coming fairly soon.
But I will wait for my local FFL to get his order in and save the $495.

Can anyone confirm if the upper can be dropped on an M16 lower?
-Will I have to purchase a 416 carrier group?
-Will the 416 carrier group function in the MR556?
-Will the M16 hammer/sear function with the MR556 upper?
-What effect will the lack of chrome lining have on a barrel that sees heavy automatic fire?
What I'd really like to buy is an IAR complete upper. Also, I'm curious what that hole is behind the selector switch. The answers to those questions will drive my decision to purchase this, or not. If I do move forward, I'll hold off for a while. I jumped on the SCAR early, and won't be early adopting again.
Two short years ago I would have been all over this.
As has been said before, it's not my cup of tea. But it will make someone happy. More choices = better.
I would like to see some real-world accuracy figures. It seems like HK USA made a lot of accuracy mods to the rifle, and would like to see the result.
I would also like to see HK follow up with a thinner barrel profile (I don't care about chrome lining) and a longer rail.
It is nice to see the rifle system that has pushed so many others to the side in real world competition come to civilians. Of course, if HK thought Delta, the Marines and various other outfits had tough standards, they have haven't seen anything yet. Their next challenge: INTERNET COMMANDOS! Give it up HK. Nothing can defeat them.
Waiting for the SBR/ SBR upper...

Time to weed out all the garbage that has infiltrated the piston AR15 market.
Sadly, there is no shortage of bubbas that will line up for a SIG 516 or any of the million other pathetic conversions lingering out there. Mostly because they are cheap.
If I were buying a piston AR15, I wouldn't get anything but an HK at this point. Lets be honest, that is what everyone wanted to begin with, not an LWRC, SIG, Ruger, Adams, CMMG, POF, STAG, S&W, LMT, Titan, Ares, Addax, Ospey, RRA, PWS...
Did I miss anyone?
Before anyone jumps up my ass to tell me how great their piston is, blah blah blah. I wasn't making commentary on your toy, but rather most wanted an HK 416, and settled for brand X in HK's absence.
Now that HK is actually here there is no reason to settle for the Monkees when you can have the Beatles.
