I checked a week or two ago and no one local (Canada..that I know of) has the Gen 2 mags yet so it isn't even an option if you want them now. I was told by a couple of people they have them on order and are just waiting delivery. I priced out a few and think you might save a few bucks if you can buy local.. or you might not. Pricing in asia and here (assuming Gen 2 costs about the same, and factoring in shipping) has some variance so it depends where you go. The mags are heavy and shipping from asia is costly in general.

If you buy local then maybe, if you have to buy and ship in Canada, no it's not worth it.
BTW
RA-Tech's Aluminium nozzle w/ NPAS is out.
$85 for the Nozzle+NPAS
$178 for the Complete Bolt carrier, NPAS, and Joint tool (saves $10, the two nozzle holder are included...not sure if it's the aluminium CNC version or the stock plastic one.
Personally I have some reservation on the aluminium nozzle's NPAS design.
