With PAR, the controller can silently monitor an ILS, and only chip in if a discrepancy is noticed, but how does an SRA monitored ILS work? Wouldn't the controller still have to give all the standard spiel and patter, in which case why not just fly the SRA?

Trusting a non-precision radar to monitor (what should be!) a precision approach aid seems a bit ar$e about face.
