I’ve heard that the 2018 models are a little more rough around the edges (fit & finish etc.) Wondering if anyone can confirm or deny?

I can confirm this yes Peter. I own a 2012 ColtLE6920 and have seen some recent Colts and can confirm the machining is not as good now on current LE6920's. The finish is even different now as well. To be fair, lots of current AR manufacturers seem to be cutting corners since the rifle sales have decreased and prices have dropped.
Not that I have noticed they are the same
