I am building a 14.5 inch upper.  Could someone tell me the pros/cons of Carbine vs mid-length gas systems?

I just got done building a 14.5" middy last month.

Pros:
Softer shooting
Increased life of internals
Longer sight radius

Cons:
.......hmmm, can't think of any

As fate would have it, that's been discussed recently -

- and in that thread are links to threads where it was discussed even more previsously

Great thanks.  I searched for it first but came up with nothing.
