I was disappointed that they didn't decide to adopt the Ultimax 100 Mk.4 . Having used it myself I am a big fan, IMO probably the best shooting weapon I've ever fired. The only issues I had with the Mk.3 variants I had were a lack of rails to mount optics/other accessories, along with the bulky nature of the drums. It also takes a minute to load them.
Has anyone ever seen a breakdown of the testing the Marine Corps did to determine their choice of the M27? I have a suspicion the whole thing was a back door method of acquiring 416s for the force.
