Both are good rifles, but I would go with the Colt due to the lighter weight, mil-spec barrel and components, and the fact that a piston system is pretty pointless unless you are firing suppressed a lot.

By the way, the Colt 6920 (now marked as M4 on receiver) can be found at many Wal-Marts for $1097.
