  1. They both are just good enough to make any obviously better candidates "not breakthrough enough" to warrant swap.

  2. I would argue with concept of single service rifle: by my thinking, rifle (perhaps, with similar control layouts) should be interchangable. For typical grunt at most of scenarios, F-2000 (bullpup with forward case ejection, fully ambidextrious) is more than enough. It should be later supplemented by full battle rifle on stronger ammo, one without full auto mode, but capable of handling same optics. Then simply choose weapon for terrain ( F-2000 for urban, FAL for mountans / jungle ).
