I was surprised at the quality of the S&W Sport myself after getting the opportunity to look one over. It's an enigma of sorts with the MP barrel, properly staked gas key, MPI bolt, mil-spec RE...then to turn around and save a buck or two on not putting the dust cover on? Just an odd thing.
Anyway, difference in having a sometimes shooter that you know for a fact the company skipped out of a couple of items and "what else might be lurking?" or going with a known company for good things and supporting a site sponsor as well?

Pick up a Magpul rear sight off any number of online vendors for around $55

Total cost for everything minus ammo and mags = $990.95
And you avoid the federal excise tax by buying separate.
Not knocking S&W as for the value, they have a great deal. But if it's my "might need it for the defense of the family" use? Go with known good quality and help support a small business at the same time that's also known for good quality.
