Thank you one and all for the opinions....
I have my AR-15 in 5.56, it is a 'go to' gun but a new carbine is to utilize handgun ammo which is everywhere....literally. I have a 7.62x39 that is around 6lbs but despite ammo becoming cheaper, it is not in any volume at the local walmart and handgun ammo is. Most of my neighbors don't have one so that source is a no go.
This carbine could be used for hunting, personal defense or skills practice; all to be economical and have readily available source of ammo. Just seemed intuitive to have 2 weapon systems and one ammo type.
I have to keep thinking about this one.........
