Do you also prefer having the patch level as part of the Oracle home path? Let AutoUpgrade worry about that and create your Oracle homes even easier.
AutoUpgrade New Features: Create Oracle Home Path Dynamically
Having the database patch level as part of the Oracle home makes it easy to get an overview of your Oracle homes. AutoUpgrade can include release and patch level in your Oracle home path automatically. This change makes it easier to automate your patching.

Even months after an upgrade, you can go back to the previous release of Oracle Database - with NO data loss. A downgrade is a powerful option that you hopefully never need.
