Quoted: Also Would M&A mount provide enough eye relief for a nose to charging handle cheek weld or close to it?

No. With the Simmons 1.5x5x20 the Larue SPR barely allows nose to charging handle with the mount all the way forward on the receiver and the scope all the way forward in the rings.
The M&A mount looks like the scope would be 1 1/2 to 2" further to the rear so there will be no nose to the charging handle shooting.
eta:
Here is a picture of the Simmons in a LaRue SPR. Notice how far forward the scope has to be for nose to the charging handle shooting:
The M&A mount would force the scope too far back.
If you get a LaRue, the SPR EER (extended eye relief) would be a better choice. You could mount the scope close to center in the mount and mount the LaRue to the rear of the receiver. It would be a equal setup compared to the standard SPR for now, but opens up many more scopes you can mount if you later upgrade.
