AR-15. Free floating handguard vs 'standard'

Looking at the Ruger AR 556. They make 2 versions, one 'normal' version, and one with a long free floating handguard (the MPR).

Am I correct in thinking that the unit with the free floating fore stock is intended for use with optics? Would the forestock be sufficiently stiff to mount iron sites?

The only other gun I'm interested in is the Sig M400, and I failing to see a reason to spend the extra $300.

Sell me a rifle!

(no, I am not interesting in building one.)
