the only benefit would be the shorter OAL, but for ME that would not be worth it
I heard/read somewhere that the Mil. went with a 14.5" bbl because its more compact but you can still mount a 203 and bayonet(not at the same time) on it
I think you would be much better off with a mid length 16" upper since you can't have an SBR. The mid length gas system is not going to be as harsh on the compnents of the gun as a carbine gas system, and that means a more reliable gun for you, the recoil impulse is a bit different with a midlength as well. It feels a it smoother to me. I'm a mid length convert
I have one of the BCM mids with 2,600 rds through it, today had it at Pala in SD county and was hitting steel at 500 yds with an Aimpoint T-1, so you are going to get an accurate gun from BCM

For these things give thanks at nightfall:
The day gone, a guttered torch,
A sword tested, the troth of a maid,
Ice crossed, ale drunk- Havamal
