Can someone make the case for this jacket or one of its brothers over something much cheaper like the Patagonia Torrentshell, which also has killer reviews.

Gore tex paclite is certainly more expensive than other waterproof breathable fabrics. AFully waterproof, lightweight and very packable. It performs well enough in a wide variety of condition(although it does not breathe as well as their higher end proshell). If you plan on doing vigorous activity go for a shell with pit zips (such as the alpha SL). As with any arcteryx product you pay for clean designs, superb construction and the best warranty in the business.
