CTR Stock's adjusting mechanism is simpler to use and has a friction lock to get rid of the wobbling, and its $90. In RS term that is pretty cheap considering VLTOR or LMT stocks will cost more, and the MOE version is only around $60. Magpul's stuff don't cost a whole lot compare to other products on the market, serves good purpose and functions as you want them. Its more to the case of "why not" than "why" IMO...

Obviously the "cool guy on video has them" factor is there, and I'd be lying if the vid didn't do its job in getting people to look at their stuff, but once you've used them, done the math and feel the results then it makes pretty good sense as to why use them.
