I have a 556R (gen 2) and a 107.
556R has better ergonomics. Right side folding (less snags against chest, doesn't interfere with BCG so it can be fired folded), top pic rail, better safety (ambi), AR-like takedown, adjustable gas block.
Safety is too short, hard to actuate but Krebs makes one that drops in and works nicely. Trigger is gritty but I believe Shooting Sight has an aftermarket fix (I have no experience with it). Absorbs recoil well but it's a little more front heavy than the average 16" 7.62 AK. Rattles like an AK but that doesn't matter to me.
Downside, I don't think it'll hold up as well as a traditional AK over time . I don't mean it'll fall apart, I just think it might need more maintenance and parts replacement. I could be wrong, time will tell but honestly I'm not that concerned even if it does.
Good rifle.
ETA: Love my 107 too though.
