Gaerek,
I mostly agree with you, yet I have a quad rail on my AR. I find it equally comfortable as the original handguards (actually, with my long monkey fingers I find it more comfortable than the OEM handguards, as it fills my hand better), and I like to have the option to mount things on the forend.
Of course, all I currently have mounted is a MagPul angled foregrip (I find it points more comfortably), and an EOTech sight. But if I ever decide to add a light or a laser, I can.
Odds are I won't, but
