forgive me if it's been discussed before but what would be the limitations of the Enhanced vs the Bravo. I know about the storage but any other issues???

I just recieved a B5 Bravo from BCM. The stock fits the tube very well, snug with no side to side play. The shorter length allows the stock to fully close when using a sling mount that clamps over the castle nut.
...
I have multiple examples of B5 Enhanced and Bravo versions. They are very similar but I prefer the Bravo, here's why:
First, the cheek piece is slightly smaller (less pronounced) than the Enhanced. I find that my eye settles in slightly faster when using an Aimpoint. But it still gives me a much more solid cheekweld than the CTR and M4 stocks that i used in the past. The flip side is I prefer the larger Enhanced stock on my Mk12 as it gives more surface area for my face when running a magnified optic.
Second, it is lighter. I take the battery tubes out of my Enhanced as I don't use them. So the Bravo removes extra material that I don't use anyway. I also don't miss the extra inch or so of stock length.
Third, the Bravo has an angled buttpad which is an improvement over the straight Enhanced buttpad. I find that the angled Bravo stock rolls up into the shoulder better.
Fourth, the Bravo is almost half the price of the Enhanced. I would be happy to trade the three enhanced versions I have for five Bravo versions.
My bravo is one of the loosest stocks I've ever had on any of my buffer tubes, rattles pretty bad. Oh well.
