ARES has a drop in piston kit that some here have had good, albeit limited, experience with.

The only things I like better about POF vs LW is price and the lining on the internals.  I would say POF is a close second to LW.

DevL's LW is a custom one-off.  It has worked since Day 1.

My POF had to have the gas system re-sized and has worked 100% since it came back.

I know another LW owner whose upper has been back twice and it still doesn't work on any lowers.

I know several POF owner locally who have had no problems with their uppers, but they aren't shooting them in full auto either.

I chose POF & DevL's custom LW is a lcose 2nd, a very very very close 2nd.

The Aries-- who knows.

I'll second the XCR as I am quite pleased with mine.

XCR- spare parts- are any available?

I'd say LW is first, with POF a close second.  It's hard to go wrong with either one.

Mine has only been back once.  

DevL's is way nicer than any POF

My POF-USA upper works 100%.

You could probably get a spare parts kit or two from Rob Arms... you probably wouldn't even need it though. Anyways, wouldn't you have the same problem with POF or LW?

OK, I never said I could count.  I expect they will get it working.  

DevL's is nicer, but it is a custom job, one hell of a one off.  Yes, I like it.

Basically, both the POF and the LW are damned good systems.  

I prefer the POF:
1.  sompler system
2.  Better/ sturdier rail design

, DevL prefers his custom LW and the LW system in general as does jadams.

I would expect that you would be happy with either of them.
