I feel like my budget version is "just as good" though.

I thought some considered Aero a budget brand.

My thoughts as well. Ironically, Aero makes good quality receivers. They are not the best, but they are what many consider the base line.
The only thing that Aero makes that I despise is their handguards that utilize the BAR barrel nut.
When I said some, I really meant you. I was surprised you posted about their new stuff. Unless it's changed, Aero also makes the Ballistic Advantage uppers and lowers as well, which would only make sense. But, according to BA, Aero and BA source their BCG's from separate locations.
I built a 300 BO pistol with almost all Aero parts. I like their Enhanced handguards because the base of the muzzle device was right inside the end of the handguard and the handguard's diameter will allow for the can. I like the integrally suppressed look as opposed to the handguard to barrel to can look. But I got the enhanced upper with the "built in" BAR barrel nut. I did, however, upgrade a 9mm build to the Enhanced handguard with the actual BAR barrel nut. I'm not a fan either. Any future builds I want to use the Enhanced handguard with will also use the enhanced upper.
