Side-charging upper sounds nice, but would probably be more of a purchase after I've got a Lage upper or two and a higher stock. Maybe that Practical Solutions upper that has the spring holding the charging handle forward?
I definitely see the point of having two separate uppers, though... swapping uppers at the range is annoying enough, I wouldn't want to deal with trying to reconfigure one on the fly. I'd be all over a MAX-11 that had a dedicated 22lr barrel, that's for sure.
Lotta M11A1s and M10s sitting at $5k and not selling. Truth is, if the M11A1 had a working 22lr kit (ie, not Fleming), I would have been much more likely to buy that once the MAX-31K came out.

My thinking is that it's probably market value, or maybe slightly below when you take into account that it's a dealer selling it. Not having to deal with an individual seller is something of a bonus for me, no offense to the awesome people here who have offered to sell theirs to me. I saw a lot of the $5k-$6k ones, but it's not clear to me that they're really selling at that price point. (Except for Mendiola, who appears to be able to sell for significantly higher prices in general.)
