Yeah, people don't get it. The only change is that the very shortest length of pull, available only on a carbine buffer tube, is no longer available. If you just have to shoot your rifle with the stock completely collapsed, position 1, then the A5 isn't for you. If you shoot with your stock at position 2 or greater then it makes no difference. The A5 eMod stock is a little longer than a regular VLTOR stock so that when fully collapsed, the stock is flush with the endplate. If that cosmetic-only gap is important to you then the A5 isn't a good choice.
I can't speak to suppressors...don't use 'em.
The increased cost is of no importance to me if I get sufficient value out of the device, and I do. If I had to make up the difference, I'd save the money by getting MBUS for my useless backup sights instead of Troy.
