Think of it as banking money, not spending. Because it will never lose much value.
Thats the same BS line i tell my wife when i buy a gun

What ever works.
I just don't tell my wife anything.
Owning an AR should be mandatory, for all red blooded American. Obviously only apples to the responsible, law abiding citizen.
What was it that Jesus said? Something like if all you had was the clothes on your back, better to trade your jacket for an AR; or something like that. Cloak/sword tomatoe/potato.

Ok, for Devil'sAdvocate:
You only have $670 , then buy Windham .
You have over ridding need for capability to shoot .5moa - Go to Engage or Precision ( it will cost a lot more than 6721 ).
You have a burning desire for somthing visually reminiscent of XM177. - get somthing with 11.5bbl and pinned 5.5 flashider.
You really, really want to build one yourself from a stripped lower for the personal satisfaction.
You really wanted either a .300, or a dedicated 9mm .
You've studied the physics and geometry, and you strongly feel a 16in bbl needs a mid length gas system .
Bottom line - If you want a normal 16in carbine, and you have $800-ish and still able to put food on the table, buy the 6721 .

The same reason to not have sex.
What was it that Jesus said? Something like if all you had was the clothes on your back, better to trade your jacket for an AR; or something like that. Cloak/sword tomatoe/potato.
Luke 22:36
"And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy an AR15"
Think of it as banking money, not spending. Because it will never lose much value.
I have several 6721s brand new in the box and buy them whenever I find them on sale for this very reason. Also, if Colt ever stops making them they will be gold in Maryland.

Can anyone help me understand what makes the Colt worth ~230 more than the Windham? If this has already been discussed, a link would be most appreciated.

Because there's a horse on the Colt and not the Windham
Actually, have you seen The List? I don't know if it has been updated recently.

1. Colt has a known level of quality.
2. Colt has name recognition, and holds value.
My traditional rule of thumb is the dancing pony, on either an AR or 1911 , is worth about $200 . In the current example, $230 is one the upper edge of that thumb, but in light of the price still being reasonable in the absolute sense, the responders in this thread feel it is still a *buy* .

Or... why buy a colt instead of a BCM?

Absolutely nothing! Paying more just because of the Colt logo or just to be one of the "cool" kids simply doesn't cut it for me. I'm not buying the "Colt Cool-aid".
