Although the 7.62 "H" MK-17 looks a lot better in my opinion it's not as cost effective for one reason. Magazines.
The SCAR-L (MK-16) uses STANAG style M4/M16 magazines which are readily available from dozens of manufacturers. The SCAR-H
(MK-17) uses proprietary style magazines which cost more and are only available from a few limited manufacturers.
This was the deciding factor for me since I like to run at least 8-10 magazines.
