That chart looks as if it were put together with a direct bias supporting Colt's features.
There are so many different manufacturers of ARs in the market that you have ample choices.
My own is made by doublestar out of KY and it is superb - but my superb and others superb may be different due to having a different use of the rifle in mind.
Bushmaster has a very good reputation for building a box-stock AR, but on that chart it's not looking good. However, there are so many different models available from Bushmaster that such a chart isn't really going to offer a fair comparison - ditto with other mfgrs.
Decide what you are going to use the gun for, learn about the features and purchase something that fits your needs the best.
Life is short. Eat, Drink & Be Merry!
