If that's the case, a high PR facilitates getting fresh content into Google faster and so would help you improve your positions in Google faster and surer. Or am I labouring under a misconception?

Also, while a web page is loading, I look the PR to get a quick idea about the quality of the site I am visiting. I feel that Alexa rank is a little bit more funky and less reliable than Google PR. It is possible also to sort search results by PR: http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/pagerank-search/ I agree with laundryguy.

If you are seeking good qualilty links in a direct exchange or a three way exchange, it is a WHOLE lot easier getting them if your little green bar says "6" rather than "4". The perception out there amongst most webmasters is that they want to trade for equal or better PR or they simply won't do it. Right or wrong, that is the dominant perception. Even when you go to buy links, the seller tends to lead the sale with the PR as the crucial indicator of value. Because of this, that green "fairy dust" does still have quite a bit of perceived value, and perception is everything. Our wallets are full of green "fairy dust" paper with zero intrinsic value, but we all agree it has value--so it actually does. A higher PR on the bar means you will invariably get more $$$ when you sell your links. I do agree with the other posters that it has little to do with actual ranking, which is the only point of SEO. But it still has quite a bit of value as a means to this end (and when you sell them). I would say that PR is a significant factor in rankings for something other than the obvious–indirect benefit.
