The other thing to consider is it really is not that much longer OAL when you compare the two. A 14.5" with a Vortex is 16.1" a 16" barrel with a stand. A2 is 17". So, is it really worth 1". That is for you to decide but, if you ever feel like trying a different muzzle option it is a pain in A-- to take off a perm. attached device vs. unscrewing the old one.
