In airsoft, aesthetics and reliability are top concern. Pretty much all AEGs shoot similarly, and performance can be improved with a little more cash. If you like the look of the CQB-R, I'd recommend that over a longer gun that you're less enthused about any day.

Hell, even outdoors, thick brush or occasional cover can make a long rifle like an M16 a pain in the ass to move around.

Agreed. with my suppressor my G&G CQB-R is 26" and the suppressor is about 3" of that. And I only have played outdoor thus far. And its stock except the cylinder was changed to the correct porting and I was ranging about the same as a stock G&G m16, Which is uh.... well.... alot longer. Also its the player behind the gun that matters more than the gun itself. I have only ever owned one AEG that has had a inner barrel longer 300mm. I've had an MP5(227mm), P90(247mm), MP7(as a primary)(215mm), and now my CQB-R(275mm).
