I guess I should also point out a few other differences:

 1) The suffix form can be removed via the empty .SUFFIXES target; the
    pattern form can only be removed with the -r option.

 2) The pattern form isn't valid POSIX.2 make.

 3) The pattern form is much more flexible, which doesn't matter in this
    case as you've stated it but matters very much in other
    situations... like if you wanted the .o to go into a different
    directory for example.
