The biggest difference will be in the quality of the barrel.
DPMS offers some upgrades and can be better than what you might consider a 'standard' upper.
There are custom builders that can offer the same upgrades, with the advantage of additional features based on your personal preferences.
You need to determine what your intended use for the upper will be in order to determine what is the best configuration.
For instance, I have 4 ARs for one of three different purposes. Could I get by with one that meets all my requirements?, maybe but where is the fun in that? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Two of them have been custom built for my specific needs (Prairie Dog shooting at longer ranges), one is a DPMS with some specific upgrades for action competition and one is for short range hunting out to 150yds and is extremely light to carry around.
If I were deciding on getting just one, I'd have lots of research done and then have some long conversations with either Mike Milli (DTech on this forum) or Dan Carey (also on this forum) before making a decision and get the best one to meet my specific needs.
The nice thing about ARs is that all you need is one lower with a good trigger and you can obtain and swap additional uppers over time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

I believe the DPMS low-pro also does not have an ejection port cover or provisions for one to keep dirt out....

The receiver on the A4 is forged and the Lo-Pro is an extruded receiver.
In the same thickness the forged is stronger but the Lo-Pro receiver is almost twice the thickness as the forged so it is actually stronger than the A4.
The A4 will feature forward assist, shell deflector, and dustcover, whereas the lo-pro is a "slick-side" receiver.

You won't be sorry with the lo-pro. I have owned several and they are tough as nails.
