Let me start by asking, why not compare Olympic's 10mm AR conversion instead of a 5.7x28 upper? When you ask, 'Is a $700 5.7x28 Upper a Good AR Buy?', I think, 'Is the 5.7x28 better at anything than a 223 or 22 Hornet?' My own answer is a resounding 'Nope!' If I want a small-caliber rifle bullet with lots of speed or penetration, the 223/5.56 seems more than adequate. If I need a smaller caliber than the 223, I can buy a complete 77-22 Hornet for less than the AR upper and feed it less expensive 22 Hornet ammo. The 5.7x28 may be of some value in a handgun, I've never found myself in a situation to ponder that question and would speculate that I never will. If I were looking for a personal-defense rifle less powerful than the 223, I think the 10mm is a good start, as I've determined that the 9mm makes a fine pocket-pistol caliber but a poor rifle.
