I think the WGC custom built unit would be your better option. I believe they start with Marui internals and upgrade them as necessary, and all the externals are G&P. They're professionally assembled by experienced gunsmiths who guarantee everything to fit together perfectly. Doing it yourself may involve a lot of fitting, filing, cussing, cursing, and throwing of random objects. You're also paying a lot more for gun parts that you'll never use again with the M16A2, that have a very limited resale value. Don't forget that Marui externals are inferior to aftermarket upgrades both structurally and physically so you'd probably be dissatisfied using the M16A2 barrel assembly and stock if you bought just the metal body. Your gearbox would also be bone stock.
One local guy here, Stealth_Omega (you probably know him) bought a WGC custom M16 VN and is immensely pleased with it. It looks fantastic, shoots even better, and I don't think he's had any issues with it.
