Risky buisness

I also fall into the M1A camp. Having used one for some years now with absolute reliability.As with many AR10s mine is accessorized too, with parts commonly avaliable and suitable to make it more comparable with me, so I guess the no accessory thing is not really a big thing. Heavier than an AR10?
I replaced the beautiful wood with a synthetic ' accessory ' stock, removed the flip up buttplate and it lost lots of weight, so perhaps the heavier argument is losing some traction.
Using an A.R.M.S 18 picitiney mount, which is easy enough to install let's me use any optic I desire, and additionally, I didnt have to pony up for backup sights on my rifle, as it comes equipped with arguably the best aperture sights on a clone military rifle, with the QD bases, their avaliable almost instantly, and are above the optics mount for a great sight picture, even with a modest cheek riser, that also holds some spare rounds.
I'm not going to bash AR based 7.62 rifles, I'm sure they will go bang as desired, just not my thing and only having handled an FAL have no comment on this foriegn design.
Its really your duck, your going to have to quack it yourself insofar as to what you want, just providing my take an a really nice rifle.
