I shoot both of my Ultralites suppressed, and don't mind the length, but to each their own.
That's a very valid point if you're considering a CF barrel, especially since the Ultralight features a lighter barrel contour that PR doesn't offer otherwise (I've checked).

However if you're going steel, then it still makes some sense for ounce-counters.
