Bottom line is that in airsoft, the 416 and M4 are basically the same gun with a different grip and front end, so it's just a matter of personal preference, really. I've always loved the look at ARs in general, so that's why 3 of my 5 AEGs are Armalite variants, including the 416 I should be getting soon.
In the real world, yes the 416 is a better gun. H&K have fixed the problems of the AR. In the real world, if I had the option, I'd probably pick the 416 over an M4 or M16 if given the choice. IN airsoft it makes absolutely no difference. And the fact that it's been out for barely 2 years means it's not as readily available as the older Armalites that have been around since before most of us were even born.
