I could make a few statements about their certifications, but I won't. Please do not let this turn into a Spike's vs. the World thread.
To the OP. This set up is a far cry from your other post so I suggest you think about what you want a little longer.

The specs say that those are for the LE models. So I am assuming that unless they specifically say LE like as in Colt LE6920, you may be getting a commercial gun with different specs. I don't know.
Never mind.
All bickering aside, you could spend $500 on the Spikes upper or you can spend $585 on the BCM.
Spike's pros:
- it's $85 cheaper
- All components are included
- You get a buffer also
Spike's cons:
- Questionable testing on barrels and bolts (HPT or not)
BCM pros:
- Build it the way you want it
- Tried and true manufacturer
- HPT and MPI
- No need to replace unwanted parts, buy what you want and be done.
BCM cons:
- (In this situation) more expensive.
At least with a BCM you can build the gun you want without having the replace parts you don't want (charging handle, hand guards, etc). Personally I'd get the BCM with all the fixings and add a GF Mod 3 to it. That will make the final price about $600 but in this game you get what you pay for.
In all honesty if you want the Spike's upper then buy it. Put it on a lower and shoot the hell out of it and report back with the results.
