Mesa or B14 barreled action?

Is it worth the extra couple hundred dollars to get the Christiansen Mesa barreled action over the Bergara B14 barreled action? I just got a Q Side Chick chassis and want to put together a decent entry level 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't want to risk it with a factory Remington action and I don't know of any other barreled actions that the top rail will mount up with properly. Any help is appreciated 🙏
 
From an accuracy standpoint, probably not.
I'd take the ubiquitous 700 style of the Bergara.

The Christensen Arms action is basically a custom action (700 clone), and the Bergara is basically a revamped 700 clone. The extra couple hundred for the CA Mesa seems worth it to me.
