Very nice!
As for other two points, I've had all the rest, Magpul, BFG, Vickers, etc.
There are two things that make the Patrol stand out, 1) the thicker webbing doesn't cut into your neck/shoulders as much and it's much easier to manipulate with gloves on. 2) The little 5" section of bungee will save your neck literally if you get snagged on something, and give a little bit so you don't clothesline yourself.
The fact that it's cheaper than most of the others is just icing on top.
