Since the SCAR-H hasnt been released to anyone yet, your guess is as good as the next guys.

FAL is currently available in semiautomatic form.
SCAR-H is not.
FAL magazines are relatively cheap and available.
SCAR-H magazines are not.
FAL uses a rear-locking tilting bolt (similar to FN-49 and SKS)
SCAR-H uses a multi-lugged rotating bolt.
FAL has a long, well tested history of favorable performance.
SCAR-H is being tested and refined. (I think it will turn out to be very reliable.)
Changing barrels on the FAL is a gunsmith level task. It's best to buy the barrel you want with an FAL.
Changing barrels on the SCAR-H is a user level task. It's best to buy all of the barrels you want when you can with the SCAR-H.
FAL butt stocks are generally fixed length of pull. There are some aftermarket adjustable LOP stocks for the FAL.
SCAR-H is supposed to be equipped with an adjustable LOP stock.
FAL optical sight mounts are generally built onto the receiver cover with varying degrees of success.
SCAR-H should be better for mounting optical sights.

The SCAR H mags look like FAL mags, is this incorrect?

I heard that they were supposed to be proprietary(sp) to the SCAR so in other words when they first come out if they even release the rifle they will be expensive as hell
