If you haven't all ready, do some reading on AR15.com or M4Carbine.net about both brands/models you're thinking of.
Better yet, do some reading about the other brands that are being suggested in this thread, too.
IMHO at your price point (the "well below $1400" point!), there are better brands that are more respected than the two that you are looking at. IMHO $600-$800 is a sweet spot for a high-quality economical "consumer grade" AR from one of the reputable vendors.
