You see it as not being the same and I see it as being as close to the real deal as you can get.
This is just weird. You can't be saying that it's "easily and inexpensively equipped" when the sentence before you're saying it's hard for optics and weapons lights. A good optic costs as much as the M&P. Your little shopping list there is about $300 of parts on top of a $450 gun. That's a lot of money. Your accessories alone are double what I paid for my setup.

Know what's easier and more inexpensive? Not having to buy anything extra or having to move a damn thing off the upper you already have.

What's closer to the real deal than a replica? The real deal. C'mon.
