I've been researching for weeks the perfect case for my need. I needed especially something roomy, quiet and with a pleasing exterior. So P193 was what I've found and bought. From my personal experience with this beautiful case, I have to disagree with you over one point.
"The huge Antec P193 V3 is at the other extreme of the range as it can accommodate and cool any PC configuration you want"
The side panel + cable hiding space behind the motherboard have one disadvantage which may be quite significant in my opinion: the low clearence for CPU heatsinks (~145 mm clearance).
I wanted to buy the HR-02 Macho and use it in fanless mode with the help of the side panel, but there just isn't room. So the best cooler you can buy for this is the (expensive) Noctua NH-C14
So the P193 is not really suitable (without modding) for overclocking enthusiasts.I still like it though.

As for the review, it's useful that these three cases were compared. The noise measurements are really missing from the article, though.
