I am looking at picking up a Noveske Recce 16".  I am waffling between the Low-Profile and FSR models.  I'd ask for a specific recommendation between the two but, to be honest, I don't have a specific use in mind at this point (I just know I'd like to get a Noveske while I can).  Can you help educate me on the pros and cons of the two different models?

The low-profile model will give you a longer sight radius, to me that's more important than having a bayo lug on my FSB.

How is the sight radius of the low-profile any longer than the FSR? The flip up sight on the low-profile is mounted directly over the gas block which is in the same position as the FSB on the FSR.

I would get the FSR because I prefer a standard FSB on a fighting rifle. In fact, I got the Recce Basic and added a Larue rail before they offered the FSR option to have a standard FSB:

The FSR isn't a Recce its the 14.5" model fyi.

Not sure if you are saying that the FSR only comes in 14.5" or if you are refering to something else.  The Noveske website shows an FSR with a 16.1" barrel:

Yeah figures I'm retarded was just looking at the complete uppers not the complete rifles.  Disregard.
