The BCM EAG is a nice gun but the SR15 is that much better. You aren't talking about a huge price difference either, and I think the price difference is easily justified. The URX rail has more features than LaRue, you're getting a much improved bolt design with 20k round warranty, a better barrel profile for weight and speed, little bit longer gas system length for low recoil and smoothness in operation, and my opinion but nicer iron sights as well. Plus you are not going to have to deal with a pinned muzzle device if you ever are in the market for a can.
The gas port sizing had to do with people running weak ammo in the winter. Mine has done fine with every type of ammo I've run through it including steel case stuff even after extended periods of no cleaning and just adding more lube.
