9mm Billet Upper receiver vs Mil-Spec

[Raymundo]

Do you guys think there is a functional benefit to using one of the dedicated 9mm billet uppers instead of the lighter, cheaper mil-spec style forged uppers?

No difference in function, it’s all personal preference.

^this and I have found that you can get lighter and cheaper uppers by going mil-spec style

Thanks guys!

No functional difference, unless you're talking about something like a side charger.

Buy a cheap but decent quality lightweight slick-side.

I prefer milspec with the 9mm dust cover and debris shield, I’ve had crap blown on my face shooting off my left shoulder

I second this. There is no difference at all. I have shot both and never saw a difference in them. Just spend more money on ammo.
