You can always get bigger magazines. The rifle doesn't dictate the mag size.
I personally have no experience with the 6.8 mm. My main thought is that it will be harder to find ammo for it. Of course, the opposite could be true; since it's not as common as .223, it might not sell out as fast. You should definitely check into that.
Other than that, its a beautiful, and highly functional, rifle. It has an improved stock and free float rail, and doesn't have the carry handle or built in front sight. You're much better off with the end-to-end rail, which will enable you to place an optic and back-up iron sights. And Daniel Defense is an excellent brand. I really didn't care for the other one at all; it was far too overpriced for being a very basic rifle. Ammo issue aside, I definitely prefer this one.
