There is this one. Odd that the bottom tier PSA was the first one to make it all the way through the torture test.I'd like to see videos on different AR-15 rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm from $350 rifles to $3500 rifles, and run each one 5000rds. See how each one holds up. You might be surprised by the results, or could be exactly what you think the results will be. Until it is done we really don't know how good rifles are in all those price ranges.
As an investment no.A few of the more budget priced ARs are running at prices that have not been seen in a few years. What are your thoughts on grabbing one or two as a purchase, for a small "investment"? Worst case you have a couple functioning rifles you got for cheap.

No firearms are a good investment, especially plastic and steel. Cheap guns aren't the most desirable, so when it is time to sell, you won't be happy. You are not likely to beat inflation. Put your money in something else for the long term.
