I have two 11.5 SBRs, one with a DD Lite rail and the other with a MOE/FSB setup. I like the MOE better for quick-use stuff because of its balance, but if weight doesn't matter in a given application, I like the FDE one. I don't run a light on the MOE, but if I decided to, there are many such mounting options. IWS in particular has some great solutions for that stuff. I did use their QD mount for the MOE and that locks up nice and solid. Really great design and I'm confident that their light mounting options are equally elegant. http://www.impactweaponscomponents.c...t/light-mount/.
As configured below, the green one weighs 6 lb 4 oz. The FDE one weighs 7 lbs 9 oz. The green one is lighter and swings easily because of the lack of weight out front but both rifles have their advantages and I use them for different things. If I had to get rid of one of them, I'd be hard-pressed to decide which one.
I use H2 buffers with Tactical Springs blue springs in both and have absolutely no issue. I have an H3 buffer around here somewhere and I keep meaning to try it, but I'm not particularly recoil-sensitive and everything runs so well currently that I'm not especially motivated to swap the buffers out.
