Then I'd go VFC. Both the avalon and 416 are good guns. The avalon will be lighter and a bit better internally. But I personally like the look of the 416 better, and it's a bit easier to upgrade because you don't have to try to figure out the ambi safety and self shimming gears. I went 416 and eventually upgraded it. It's a great gun.
I've been looking for a good deal because it is a bit steep of a price but I know it is a good gun.
