It's hard to go wrong; they're both really great choices.

My buddy, for whom I built a BRT Optimum 16" gen-1 centered gun, loved it!
Forged upper and lower, BRT EXT Optimum barrel and MicroPin BRT gas block, ALG rounded top handguard (the exact model escapes me; it was mlok, lol), PWS H2 Buffer, Sprinco Blue action spring, std nitride carrier with Sprinco 5-coil extractor spring, and Precision Armament AFAB 556 (current generation). PA ACSS 3x prism fakeCog on top.
With full power federal Brown box M193, the first thing my buddy blurted out (in that barely controlled, childlike fashion) was "this damn thing kicks less than my 10/22!!!!" with a fairly dumb grin on his face. Things devolved from there.... including grown men giggling.
It basically just vibrates in your hand. With .223 pressure AE Ammo it feels like it's short stroking, but ejection is strong @ 3:30-4:00 and it locks back on empty even with no shoulder purchase. Brass collects in a bucket if you don't move.
No way to get an SR15 experience in a quality package (that will fu&$€#%ing run with reliability) for less. I've shot several SR15's (and have a deep love and respect for them that borders on fanboyism). But this is knocking on that door for much less.
