I would consider the SIG anytime but I would definitely run away from the Colt Light Rifle. It was a design/manufacturing cluster flop.
The original design by Mel Forbes, Ultralight Arms, was and is again a true piece of craftsmanship. Colt bought the design from the original gunsmith intending on manufacturing a top-of-the-line, light rifle for the general public. The mistake was to let their own designers/engineers get a hold of it and then bring in SACO Defence as a manufacturer to help even more. The end result was a poorly designed, poorly manufactured piece of junk. It was a total failure and as a result (fortunately) reverted back to the original owner. He, by the way, has stood behind many of the failures at his own expense in order to maintain his reputation and that of the New Ultralight Arms rifles.
