If you're concerned about accuracy, you should consider a longer barrel. Otherwise, I wouldn't think there'd be a hill of beans difference between the two inside 25yds.
This is great advice. 12" minimum if you are concerned about accuracy. 1-12" twist is great for bullets heavier than 40gr. 1-16" will not stabilize the 60gr Aguila loads. The accuracy between an Apogee Match in any length that is available (12"/16"/21") is going to be much much better than a 4.5" barrel.
I have a used but like new 4.5 CMMG that I would sell you pretty cheap. I replaced it with a 16” pencil barrel. It is pretty accurate inside of 25yds with a red dot.

Is the barrel still available? I don't want to cut in line, but let me know please.
I have the 21" Apogee Match barrel w/1:12 twist rate. I really like it. With "middle of the road" ammo I can easily shoot 3/4-1" groups at 50yds. It feeds everything I've put through it. It's a nice unit. I've never shot any "bucket 'o freedom" bulk ammo through it but Federal Automatch works pretty well. More testing to do...I probably only have about 300 rnds through it. I suspect it'll even perform better as I shoot it more.
