A Tavor with an aftermarket trigger pack always seemed so great, but not $2k great. I have a very light AR with a good trigger at 1/4 the price with red dot. But I still wish I had the Tavor sometimes.
I had a co-worker that bought a Tavor and the fascination didn't last very long. For one thing he's a left-handed shooter, and the weapon didn't convert as easily as he thought. He sold it.
The other problem with a Tavor seems to be that they are AK-47 accurate, which is to say "not very." I have seen quite a few of them for sale as used weapons.
AUG, on the other hand, appears to me to be pretty accurate. At our last range day I could pretty consistently hit a man-sized target at 200 yards. Considering that I am old, feeble, arthritic, and half-blind I'd say that wasn't too bad.
I am averaging something like 19 out of 20 doing head shots at maybe 50 yards while on the move with the AUG and while using a Vortex Sparc red dot sight.
So frankly, I am pretty happy with the AUG. It's a little heavier than an AR but it is handier, and because of the short length I can carry it in my truck a bit more discretely than my AR-10.
