Get Opp my rawn, Plick!
I like AR15 rifles due to my proficiency/ Training with them as well. But as like Slimjim stated earlier, AUGS are not in the mainstream due to cost and importation restrictions. The recent availability of the AUGA3, MSARs and TPD have brought the AUG platform into the realm of reality.
It does not hurt to get proficient in another format.Old dogs can learn new tricks. Out all the 5.56mm bullpups out there, the AUG is still one of the best. For a rifle developed in the 70's, it is way ahead of its time.( LWRC/ HK brags about how the bolt group does not get dirty or hot after a magdump with the short stroke piston system, The AUG has been doing this from the get go, vertical foregrips? also from the AUG) There are a lot of bias against it, such as a bad trigger and you cant fire from the weak side. Most of which can be resolved easily with training. As for the MSAR STG556. It is a fine weapon. Once broken in, I will not hesitate to rely on it, the way I rely on my Colt AR.
It is not an AR nor does it feel like an Ar ( ACR, SIG556, SCAR) . That is why some people like it. AR15's are like AxxHxxxx, everybody has one. It also will not take an AR15 stock..
No carrier tilt issues there.
A little variety won't hurt. We also have to remember that most rifles that we own are " recreational rifles" these are not going to be subjected to the same requirements of a military mission. So buy what makes you smile the most.

I hate you guys. One of these is on my short list. It will be my next rifle if I don't pick an Arsenal SGL-31 in 5.45x39mm.
A guy at school has one in coyote/dark earth or whatever Microtech calls it.
