6ARC or 6.5 Grendel?

Been thinking about building me just a plinker rifle, but something other than a 223. It's a toss up between a 6ARC or a 6.5 Grendel. Just planning on buying a Howa barreled action and piece mill it together. Was leaning way towards the 6ARC, but then a buddy called me today who's getting out of reloading, and made a deal with him for 4,000 CCI small rifle primers and a Forster FL sizing die with the ultra micrometer seating die and crimp in 6.5 Grendel for $300. Seemed like a good deal so I jumped on it.

Now my dilemma is, still go the route of 6ARC or just do the 6.5 Grendel? Reloading equipment aside, what's y'all's opinion on the two calibers? Maybe this is a sign from God and I'm just not listening or something.
Love my 6.5 Grendel. I'm sure the ARC would maybe be the better option for a bit longer range shooting or for flatter trajectories but the Grendel is a great round. I killed several deer with mine and it gets the job done superbly. Out to 300 yards it's a great deer rifle. Possibly further but I have other rifles for that mid to LR shooting. Mines a woods gun and being short and light, it's my tree stand rifle also.
