In Fl you'll want/need the optional 2nd AC unit(BR) and possibly a 3rd for the garage. The insulation levels provided by Keystone are not the best for extreme heat or cold.
As far as the patio feature, my understanding was it was an option available on all Raptors. I wasn't interested in the patio for mine, so didn't look into the details.
