The AR is the way to go for now.
The front weight of the Sig is not as appealing as it may feel. The 5.566/.223 in semi auto doesn't kick enough to warrant the extra forward weight of the Sig. I like the Sig but it's expensive and you'll not find a better parts supply in the US than for the AR. My dad lives in Colorado Springs and had the same AR/Sig 5.56 predicament last week.....I sent him an AR. I'll let you know if it relieves his Sig lust!
