If you want a fun hobby rifle, the RRA will serve nicely.
If you need a defensive rifle that will serve serious use, or you may take to a high-volume carbine class, you want the Colt.

The RRA is a lot more than a fun hobby rifle (but it is certainly that). But if you're a Colt fan then get the Colt... there's no harm in it, people often throw money after internet hyperbole, then hang their hat on phrases like "Mil Spec" and fashionable trends like a rifles "operational weight" (because of how we are all Marines an' all). Talk to engineers and techs at H&K about Mil Spec and they will just laugh. I'd like to see someone shoot-out a RRA in five years of carbine classes.
My Sig M400 is twice the rifle the Colt is and costs a lot less, and my RRA leaves the Sig in the dust in many ways. Also another way of looking at it is if it's not quite right you can enhance it until the cows come home. And then change your mind.
