A little thread jacking: Still being the newbie that I am, why is the Mid Length superior to Carbine Length?
Because recoil is lessened or ...?
Is there any down side for a mid length vs carbine length?
Here's one to get you started.

zombiescometh,
Thanks for the help, my research skills blow...
having a LE6920 yourself and asking which is better between a bcm or colt doesnt make sense at all.
Good decision. I also believe that the BCM ARs are some of the best on the market. I have three Colt ARs (1977 SP1, 1993 Sporter Match HBAR, and a 2008 LE6920), but the BCMs are made much better. As a matter of fact, I own a BCM Jack Carbine that I really like. If faced with the same decision as you, I would definitely go BCM.

Used a Colt carbine on duty for 10 yrs. and it never once failed me. Loved it. I do find my midlength BCM more pleasurable to shoot however. It has never failed me either. Can't go wrong with either but when I spent my own money for a rifle, it was BCM.
I own nothing but Colt and BCM guns. As far as the general quality of the rifles, id say they are both roughly equivalent. That is to say, Colt and BCM are both of excellent quality. Ultimately, I lean a bit towards BCM simply because of the many options (gas system, barrel type, rail configuration etc). At the very least, Colt should be offering Block II inspired carbines with 12" DD RIS II's (I know they have the socom w the heavy barrel, but no one wants a heavy barrel). Also offer Mk18 inspired carbines with DD rails etc.
