Very true. Pat Garret has some of my favourite moments but doesn't quite stand up as a whole, at least compared with the Wild Bunch. And Kris Kristofferson, while good, was always gonna be Kris Kristofferson rather than Billy the Kid. James Coburn's Pat, on the other hand, is fantastic (one of my all-time fave performances in any Western), and I still love the movie, if only for those few choice scenes and for James Coburn.
