Just because people charge double or more for a gun in Canada does not mean its worth it. So if you need your gun to have a more real front sight you can pay $1250 for a stock gun that has electricial problems and shoots 315-320 FPS.
I will on the other hand will take my $1300 and buy a hurricane kit from Jugglez and have a gun that shoots 380FPS on .2s. That has a systema gear box, tight bore, wired to rear hurricane stock with a battery and delivery included. IMO
As for me

Quick to defend your $1300 decision eh? Haha.
If you read carefully I was merely pointing out that there is an ALTERNATIVE to getting an HK416 setup that other users can explore.
The VFC HK416 "Super DX' could be more appealing to other aspiring HK416 owners, because aesthetically, it simply offers more than the Hurricane kit:
* Realistic H&K-LE stock (please correct me if I am wrong, but I couldn't find a single H&K-produced HK416 that has the same stock as the Hurricane one)
* Aforementioned front sight
* Realistic H&K pistol grip
* H&K magazine
* Bolt-lock feature (mentioned above and described by WGC: Cosmetic bolt plate able to lock when pulling cocking handle, returns by pressing Bolt Release Button, easy for hop-up adjustment.)
* AN-PEQ2 unit (for battery storage)
For roughly the same price, somebody could forego all the above luxuries and instead choose the Hurricane kit which does perform well. It really depends on what you're willing to sacrifice. Alternatively, you could purchase the VFC replica and replace the internals, because when you've spent upwards of $1250, what's another $250?
