Well, my FAL is a Century parts gun with the thumb hole stock, thanks to Bill Clinton so there's really no comparison to the Springfield rifle.
However, it has been pretty damn accurate. I was all over a 12 inch steel plate pushing 300 meters with iron sights without a miss. It raised a few eyebrows to say the least. (The thumb hole stock is very comfortable and helps with long distance shooting accuracy, I think, but I don't like the looks of it and would eventually like to put some original stock furniture on it. I just haven't gotten around to it as of yet)
It has also been very reliable. I like the gas adjustment on the FAL too. Pretty simple to regulate the gas for various ammo which I've had to do once for shooting a bulk order of some surplus ammo that failed to cycle. One minor gas adjustment and it cycled perfect for the entire lot.
There's a reason it has been the main battle rifle for so many NATO countries for so many years. It's one I don't think I'll ever sell or trade away.
