I'm looking into getting a new upper. Trying to decide between the two:
1. Spikes 16" Mid-Length w/ 9" BAR Rail

2. Daniel Defense M4 URG V1
https://danieldefense.com/upper-receiver-groups/carbine-length-urg/daniel-defense-m4-urg-v1.html
To me, it seems the DD would be the way to go but then again I know Spikes makes a good product. If I got the DD, it would come without the vertical grip. Both would be new. The Spikes will come from Spikes...likely with a 2+ month wait. The DD would come from a guy on another gun forum. Spikes is a mid-length, DD is a carbine length gas system
I can get the DD for slightly more (less than $50 difference) than what Spikes wants for their upper.
Is the obvious choice DD? I know the DD MSRPs for more than the Spikes, but some of that is probably 'name brand'. Doesn't necessarily mean it's worth the extra $300 retail. It will be going on a Spikes Punisher lower FWIW
