Well after a bit of research it seems to me that Colts are priced right in line with the others such as rockriver and bushmasters..........
What kind of deals did you find? Apples for apples the colts are going to be $300-400 more across the board.

colts always going to cost more because it brings a premium when you sell it down the road, your rra or bushy will be a fine shooter, but for someone who likes to collect buy the colt. set it right next to your python you bought 15 years ago for $500  and your 1873 s.a.a. revolver that you aquired from your grand father who paid a dollar.32 , they are worth the money because they will bring the money. the other brands are worth the money because they are affordable shooters ( for the most part) and they do the job.
when all else fail, grab the browning machine gun

I can get a colt 6940LE which comes with adjustable stuck, flat top receiver, flip up sights, and a one piece rail system for right at $1350 shipped. I have yet to find a rockriver with a rail system at that price maybe I'm not looking hard enough.  Guess it's just like a ford guy over a Chevrolet guy??? Always have liked colts and maybe your do just pay for the pony on the side.

I like Rock Rivers fine, even have 3 of them. The $1350 for a 6940 is a good price. If you want the handguard rail built into the upper receiver (like the colt), Colt the only one who produces that right at this moment, but others are coming.
 
 As far as deals on RR, check these out.

 AND, check these guys out, they will customize anything you want (through Rock River, they also usually have the best price  ;) )
