So, for 24 CP less, you can make a much more capable character, and it is no use claiming that it is less realistic.

Regarding that +6 Per and Will...
Let's face it Lex and Tony aren't really that perceptive or strong willed otherwise they would see things they miss and be able to regularly resist their respective Obsession and Addiction (Kill Superman and Alcoholism)
An example of a Lex Luthor who is more perceptive then his canonal comic incarnations is in the fanfiction
Inviolate especially in
Chapter 15

Quite right. It isn't just a matter of cheaper but what better fits the character. Heck, I would say even in his Silver Age incarnation
Superman didn't have a IQ 20 and he was outsmarting Luthor all the time.
