IMO, there's no reason to buy an A2 (carry handle) upper. Flat tops are more versatile and have a higher resale value. You can always put on a detachable carry handle, backup iron sights (BUIS), a scope, or an RDS.

Detachable carry handles ever....... detach (at the worst possible time?)?????
If flat-tops (A-4?) have a higher resale value, then I should be a pick up the older carry handle style (A-2?) for less, no?

I've never seen a busted carry handle.
A used A2 upper will probably go for less, but, IMO it is less useful. If you plan on never, EVER mounting an optic, it should be fine. But a red dot or scope is easier and more comfortable to mount to a flat top.

As LitlRat mentioned, you most likely won't see it. It depends on the magnification of the scope. I don't see the the FSB when using a 3x or 4x scope. Not sure if you'll see it with a 1.5 or 2x.

Colt LE6920's can be had right now for $1100-$1200 and that is about the best price you have ever been able to get on them. I built my AR with a Sabre Defence upper but had the Colt been available for this price I would have been all over it like white on rice. Plus now that they are using mil-spec diameter FCG pins on all rifles it really is a no brainer. I am not a Colt fanboy at all but they are just too good to pass up at this price. I would buy 10 of them if I could.

Impact Guns (online) has 'em for $1400......
I looked around Omaha today....... off the shelf there were DPMS model A-15 for $900 (Scheels) to $990 (TBH).... I noted everyplace I stopped had these...... as ubiquitous as 10/22s, those....... Guns unlimited had a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 for $1100,,,,,, No carry handle, just a detachable rear sight. Cabela's had a BushMasterM4A3 for $1100 .... I liked the Bushmaster and M&P .......
