The Patriot is faster with a slightly harder draw cycle........but barely noticable as far as I was concerned. I think the Patriot has a very slightly shorter brace height, but again, it's close. The Patriot is also shorter in length by a decent bit. The ATA's (axle to axle) are close, but you've got to consider the larger wheel and cam on the Liberty for overall length.

My main activity is hunting, so the Patriot fit the bill a little better.
