The only down side is that I had to cut off the front handguard retainer as it wouldn't let the handguard mounts mate up with the barrel. A couple minutes with the Dremel and it was gone. It is possible to replace the retainer but the front sight has to come off.
Thanks for info. Good to hear that consumer opinions are being heard, with options to suit preference. Not surprised about heat, slick lo pro rails seem to suffer that. Still want..
