Are most LaRue railed fore ends $50 cheaper than similar DDs or are you looking at a Lite rail compared to LT's standard rail?
The Lite rail costs more for a reason- it's a superb rail.
And yes, its easy to say that everyone that likes the most expensive rails are elitists or just have too much money to waste.
But, take it from someone who HAD to have a railed fore end on a cheap budget and who later tried DD.
I had ONE YHM carbine free float rail. I could barely get anything to fit without forcing it. It was cheaply parkerized and it actually loosened up several times. Putting KAC panels on it was a joke. The edges were sharp and annoying and really fouled up the foam I custom cut in my starlight case.
I started with DD when I could afford it and took a huge loss on the YHM. I basically gave it away for free on the rifle when I sold it. I truly wish I had saved that hundred bucks to put towards ADCO's first ever DMM4 upper- back before midlengths were all the rage. It came with a DD 9.0 that I quickly upgraded to a 12.0 FSPM. I've since bought a 10.0 DD rail and then an Omega. At just over double the cost (actually less than double after having to pay to ship the rifle and YHM back and forth to get it installed tightly) I would never suggest a YHM product of any kind, except for a phantom FH or one of the suppressors they manufacture under license.
Remember, those that have tried more than a few rails will recommend many others over the YHM. Those that have only used YHM will of course talk about how happy they are to have their first railed fore end.
