You are correct. This has benefits beyond the extra $200 stamp. However, I think they missed the boat by using a 10" barrel vs. an 8" and I'd have opted for a shorter, fatter can. They should've released the upper first, as buying a 1 stamp drop on addition to a current 5.56 lower is where this would shine. I do think the price point is a little too high. You could buy a Noveske 8.2" 300BLKfor $2270 (which you could get on a Form 4 rather than a Form 1), and an SDN-6 for $1050, making it $120 more, but with far greater versatility, a couple inches shorter OAL and a great Noveske barrel and Flared Forged Lower.
IF, we get through the current debacle, my intent is still to get the aforementioned 8" Noveske and a Mini7, with an SR-7 down the road for better suppression. I think there are times where a lightly suppressed 300BLK with an OAL of a non-suppresssed 11.5" SBR would be VERY useful.
This effort from Daniel Defense does have promise though.

If they are releasing a new product, based on my first-hand experience, I'd trust they are able to produce it.
