Interesting. Previously they were cutting corners and yet some people were happy. Now they are changing their formula and trying to compete with the other names that have proven themselves.
I could care less what is on paper. They are going to have to produce quality and people will then have to judge for themselves.
Making a hundred good carbines is one thing, putting out thousands of carbines that perform over years is something else.

Why would I buy a the new "high quality" delton carbine when I can get a BCM or DD for the same price and have been putting out a good carbine for years now?
Yes, actual quality issues. I've had THREE:
1) Spare bolt claiming to meet all milspecs - had a nicely park'd burr on a lug. It went back with no hassles, replaced with one with no apparent defects, they paid shipping both ways.
2) Complete "premium" BCG - with improperly machined cam pin track, which caused failures in the rifle that were fixed instantly by a BCM bcg. I had a HUGE runaround with them trying to get them to fix this. It ultimately got fixed due to their rep on m4c, but that was after nearly two months of hassle, and I had paid shipping the first return only to get the even-more-defective bcg back unfixed. You can look up my thread if you want.
3) Complete 20" rifle upper - they built it with an M4 handguard cap, which is (barely) functional but definitely not the norm. I read of others getting them the same way and have not bothered to ask for a replacement, since it does seem to work, although it is wrong.
YMMV. I've spent a decent bit of money with three "as good as" companies (two of which were the hottest new thing at the time, the third an established company that made something claiming to be milspec, different from their standard consumer grade) and have learned the hard way to buy from the companies that actually set the standard (Colt, DD, BCM, LMT).
