    go with DD if thats closer to what you want in a rifle.

    I made the mistake of buying an m4 upper from Core 15 and eventually upgraded all the parts to rainier and spikes..


    Good news is I have enough parts for another complete upper.
    maybe I should buy another spikes stripped lower and build another rifle

    DD offers midlength gas. Also LW profile, if you want it (not seeing 6720s). Provided quad rail is very nice but quad rail is not for everyone as evidenced by recent rail introductions

    As mentioned, it is hard to go wrong with DD, especially if you find the model suiting your needs.
    We never had any issues with our Colts (6920s & 6520s), but they somehow got replaced through the years and we ended up with all DD middies. Another thing to consider is the outstanding support from the DD staff if you ever need it.

    Equal quality and dependability so unless the lw is a big factor, just go with your gut. Like two cute puppies, flick back and forth till one tugs at you just a bit more.

    And then next week when you have rationalized sufficiently, buy the other one too. Then repeat the whole process with CQB and mid-range optics.
    The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”

    the Colt can be setup like the DD for about the same money but no one has yet mentioned the difference is the DD has a midlength gas system with a LW hammerforged barrel and the 6920 is carbine gas with the silly M4 profile.

    to me that's the significant difference. I like carbine gas but only with a 14.5" barrel. at 16" I prefer midlength..

    Do you have experience shooting either configuration yet?

    Agreed, and it's a great deal.

    OP: Both are quality weapons and I own both x 2, but if the DD is more towards what you want, it would be less headache to obtain the weapon most configured to your liking with minor additions added after the fact to ultimately configure it to your needs.
