One is Nitride coated the other is parked.

There have been a few threads on these.  Most everyone seems to like them.  My buddy has two of them with no complaints.

I have one of the nitride and have been pretty happy with it. Shoots a bit high, but otherwise very pleased with the product and price.

I bought one and it's alright.  I had to replace the front sight post so that I can zero it, as the front sight base used by DSA is not the proper height for flattop receivers; some people have zeroed their uppers no problem, but be aware that it can be an issue.

I bought one, I'm happy with it. I'm going to get it turned down to 14.7 soon.

Bought one of the mid lengths for 300.   Not having taken it out yet I'm very happy with what I received.

I had one and sent in back because it wouldn't cycle the bolt, so something obviously was plugged up somewhere.  I sent it back two weeks ago and I called them today to check on the status and they told me that it would be probably another 4-5 weeks before they could get to it, so I just went ahead and had them give me a refund for it.  
It took them four months to get it to me originally because they messed up my order, and I'm just tired of dealing with it.

Nitride is a surface treatment (sorta/kinda like case hardening). It is a tough finish that sorta looks like dark parkerizing, the entire barrel (inside and out) are treated. There are several Nitride treatments, done differently. Some prefer Nitride to chrome, some do not, the jury is still out. SIG, Glock, LWRA, and several others use nitride so it is viable.
I have 2 of the DSA uppers, a middy and the ZM4, both nitride. I am impressed so far. They both have been tested fairly hard so far and have performed flawless. We will see how they hold up in the future.
Do a search (google,dogpile,yahoo) on nitride. It is tough as nails...

Thanks! That is some good info, and I do think I will try my hand with a DSA upper.

I'll save you my story and just say that I believe it, I've been there, and I can't blame you.
