First, I like the profiles of the barrels in medium contour, second I like the thicker chrome, and third they come with pinned gas blocks instead of set screw gas blocks. I'm sure a properly set screw gas block is fine, but I prefer pinned.
I used BCM BCGs, and KMR rails. The package is pleasing for me, I run Noveske Gen 2 lowers, one of them is Chainsaw.
I appreciate the Vltor MUR, it gives the impression of being a stronger upper than a standard upper.
BTW - I have a couple complete BCM uppers as well and they are also excellent. I also have a BCM M4 upper (bought as a stripped upper) in another build. It was perfect and had a tight fit with the barrel.
You cannot go wrong either way, but if you want a beefier upper go MUR.
I have a rifle with a 16" BCM stainless barrel. If I were to do it over again I would go Noveske for the stainless barrel. JMHO.
