Because Block 52 is the Air Superiority version which is even better then some F15´s !
F15 is a twin engine air superiority fighter, and is a beast. Blk 60 series and its deviates may not be compared with the Strike eagle, which stands in its own category.
Personally I dont see the SABR radar in any future the future buys of 16s. I think the next acquisition of 16s will again if possible be more of the same. I think the developments in AESA and other goodies may well come from Chinese sources in future block JFT and next acquisition.

Even if Pakistan does not get an export version AESA on the F16, the force is still formidable with their APG68v9s, and that is due the constant training. You are right to assume that some of the Gen 4+ tech will be seen in JFT much faster than the export F16, such as HMDS, TVC WVRAAM, and AESA Intercept Radar.
