The tube sizes are different, so they're not interchangeable. If you already have a commercial tube, I'd say stick with that and save yourself the money of buying a new tube, spring, etc.
But then I have no real world experience yet with either type of stock. But I did order a comm Magpul CTR for my AR that's still on order.
