Is there a particular reason to choose to use the [value] object to route stuff within and between patches as opposed to [send] and [receive]? Historically i've always done the latter, but as i'm rebuilding my Max chops for the first time in several years i'm not sure i remember why i chose to go that route and am open to the idea of changing my approach.

value-vs-send-and-receive

You can use send and receive with the forward message. This allows dynamic routing to any receive object with messages.

With send/receive the message is automatically output at the receive object; with value the message is stored and needs to be banged.

Another difference:
With send/receive the message is automatically output at the receive object; with value the message is stored and needs to be banged.
