I had assumed everyone knows those are outstanding shafts....But I have tried the Patriots, and wonder why nobody has mentioned them in this thread. They aren't as inexpensive as the others, but they aren't as expensive as the Rifles, either. In my limited experience with the Patriots, they are remarkably similar to the Balistik -- which I believe was the intent. And I like the Balistik, so I like the Patriot as well.
I have built only one set on the Patriots, using the Acer XDS2 Pro heads. Teamed with the Patriots, they are just excellent. Look great, feel great, play great. Highly recommended. As you say, very much like the Balistiks in feel and performance.
Too bad I had to give them away (birthday gift for my brother).
