I agree. I have an SSA, SSF, SSA-E (and GA National Match) in addition to a KAC 2-stage on my SR15. Here's my take after having run them all:
SSA (or SSF) on a HD or high-stress gun. There is a significant difference between the SSA and -E. The SSA might have a slight bit more over-travel on reset than the -E, but I see that as a good thing on a high-stress gun. The SSF and SSA are almost identical, but the reset on the SSF has even a little more over-travel, but an identical break.
I like the -E better in general, but it is a little too light for me, unless it's for a more precision rig like a DMR. When doing drills, I have occasionally had a shot break earlier than intended or an unintended followup shot after reset. It's not so much an issue of trigger control and discipline as it is the nature of the shooting situation and how the triggers perform in such.
For a high-stress combat rifle, my preference would be: 1) SSA or SSF, 2) KAC 2-stage, 3) SSA-E.
