Did I make a good decision?

Local gun shop was running a lot of specials on Black Friday. One being a S&W M&P 15 for $599. I went to the store to pick it up and ended up leaving with a Mossberg MMR Tactical 5.56. I spent nearly an hour in the shop trying to make up my mind. I got the Mossberg for $667 out the door with 100 rounds of .223
The M&P 15 would have been about 20 bucks cheaper after taxes.
Seemed like a good deal on the gun and it felt a lot better and already has the quad rail and dust cover.
The M&P had no forward assist no dust cover but does have a cl barrel where the Mossberg doesn't.
Did I make the right decision?

I don't know a lot about AR-15's, but in general S&W > mossberg

I'm not familiar with Mossberg AR15s...haven't really heard much about them

Sounds like you were looking at a S&W sporter model for that price
The one with no forward assist?
If so, then you did well to go with the MMR in my opinion
Honestly, the biggest difference in the two rifles would favor the mossberg and it is the rail system. It has a better quad rail on the mossberg and it is a true free float. The S&W uses a standard m4 rail that attaches to the barrel
Free float barrel vs not

I could care less about a forward assist. I'm of the mindset that if it doesn't fully chamber...tap, rack, bang.
However, an ar without a dust cover doesn't make sense. Imo your asking for trouble. A dirty at is a really expensive club.
