Judging by your join date, lack of experience with the AR platform, and your attitude, it sounds like you already made your mind up prior to posting this thread. Buy whatever makes you happy man. Just don't act like a whiny bitch when your shit breaks and you can't find replacement parts.
Sounds like someone forgot to take their "Med's" this morning before posting!
I own a A/A 16" Mid-Length upper just for the reason to see if it would run a bit cleaner when using my favorite cheap steel case at matches and courses.
Lots of folks here repeat the AR gospel, recite the approved brands and bash most non listed items whether they have ever owned one or had any experience with it but just because it was not on the list.
While the list is a good place to start when considering a new AR other platforms such as piston guns are starting to make the rounds through the AR community and actual use opinions are starting to surface.
My A/A upper on a PSA branded lower (FN built) has close to 10K fired without any function issues or part breakage. Clean up is much quicker as the upper and lower stay much cleaner with the piston design and a simple wipe down of the piston and bolt which is melonite coated takes only a minute or so to complete.
I keep a few redundant A/A proprietary springs on hand stored in my pistol grip just in case but the originals are still going strong and if a spring ever does go its a no tool quick replacement.
I like A/A's piston uppers and would recommend them to others.
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.
