All this means is buy what you want for right now, because sooner or later your current rails and gadgets won't make you the cool kid on the block anymore.
I think the Crane study, and talk of military adoption for Mlok shot keymod in the foot more effectively than any other market/social reasons. Although I've been an Mlok guy since day 1 anyway.
However, I also would hesitate to mount a sighting device on either system, and I think it's also kind of hilarious how much of an accessory line has sprung up around bolting things back on to KM/ML hanguards, which apparently was half the attraction of getting AWAY from Pic rails in the first place... Go figure.
That being said, if anyone is buying or swapping out rail/handguard systems for reasons based on anything other than what they need the thing to do... they're probably one of those idiots that spends more time "customizing" their gun than shooting it anyway...
