Having dropped quite a bit of real steel stuff onto both Systema and Wetti(GBBR) Rifles. I can tell you as far as weight, balance and overall realism, the GBBR is as close as you are going to get to a real AR. Systema rifles have a considerable amount of weight in the pistol grip due to the motor, which is not present on real AR's. (The pistol grips on real firearms are typically hollow)

Just be sure to swap out to a real buffer tube, pistol grip, and you should be right where you want to be.

Another huge benefit of a GBBR vs AEG would be the presence of recoil. Although nothing compared to a real rifle's recoil, it is still feedback from the firearm. On a real firearm you will anticipate the recoil so that you can have better control over the rifle, same rule applies to a GBBR. Here is an old video from 2009 when WE Airsoft's CEO went to the US 5th Ranger Training Base in GA, where they had SWAT/MILITARY members shoot the firearms side by side and provide some honest feedback.

Hope that helps!
