If you have the cash to convert them go for it. It's always fun for me to have the latest and greatest new AR toys.

I guess what I'm asking, how is converting to a gas piston system beneficial and is it worth spending the money to do it? Will it make my AR more reliable, etc?

Looks identical to me in the BM link. About the same price too if I'm remembering correctly.
