The benefits of ETS, found by searching the Basic Set, Martial Arts, and Gun Fu:

all the benefits of Combat Reflexes (+1 to active defenses and Fast-Draw, +2 to Fright Checks, immunity to freezing when surprised, and +6 to recover from lesser surprise)
always act first in the combat sequence
always draw first in a standoff with unready weapons
always go first in a Wait situation/standoff with ready weapons, even unarmed vs. a gun
dodge snipers' bullets fired from "surprise" if you can see a flash, hear a report, or have Danger sense
ignore penalties to attack around fast-moving obstacles
invoke the Bullet Time rule, if used
parry bullets with the Parry Missile Weapons skill, or shoot them down effectively with the Area Defense perk
request extra time on the real-world clock to make combat decisions, even if the GM has everybody else on a turn timer
