Maybe it's changed a lot in water use since my Bosch 800 series I got about 4 years ago, but really the arms are probably the simplest thing in it, and they work amazingly well, including for glasses in the corners. I really had no idea this was a thing, even my first GE from 1999 that sucked for most things never had trouble washing our glasses. Then again, I don't dry peanut butter on the glasses either.
As to the third tray - that's one big thing, the V shaped 3rd tray for utensils that made me buy the Bosch 800 vs a Mielie with just the really short hight utensil tray, and vs the older 2 shelf systems. I just find I need the space. Then again, I also may just need a faster dishwasher - the 2:09 for the Bosh is "forever" and if one did the job as well in 45 minutes or so I could have less space / racks and do more loads. That said, when cooking I can run the Bosch basically all day / 4 - 5 loads to try and keep up.
