Three more reasons:
 
16.  Like any method that makes germane use of both ordinal and approval information it is well adapted to three-slot ballots, i.e. voters that don't want to submit complete rankings can opt to have their approval order extended by the order of their favorite.
 
17.  It is resistant to the burying strategy that plagues some Condorcet methods.  This is related to reason number 9.
 
18. "DMC" is a better name.  It doesn't matter if the D stands for Definitive, Definite, or Democratic, "D Majority Choice" is a good sell.
