Advantages over the factory stock really depend on what stock you're comparing it to. They are worlds better than the flimsy plastic stocks. Wood will swell with humidity... Rigidity and repeat-ability are the main advantages.
I love my GAT. It is extremely lightweight with the carbon shell. I wish I had the ambidextrous version instead of the r hand one. that is my only complaint.

Re: Manners MCS-GAT
I have a T4, T2a, and a GAT. The GAT is my favorite of the 3. However, if I were you I would take a hard look at the T5a.

On a T5 the foreend is thicker and the grip is bigger.
