The piston design is the only AR I personally would ever own. Gas impingement is for the birds. The Ruger is a fine gun, but be aware that the $1099 model is stripped down. The "standard" model runs $14-1500. Incredibly reliable, very accurate. You cannot go wrong with Ruger, unless you buy an old Mini-14.
Leaving aside the piston vs. direct impingement debate, the SR556 is a fine rifle, and the SR556E hits a pretty appealing price point. At 7.3 pounds, it's still a comfortable weight. A number of other piston guns weigh in around 8 - 8.5 pounds.
