MA fencing nerf

I looked at A Matter of Inches (MA110), and noticed that these replace multiple Parry penalties for fencing weapons. Now, I do enjoy the extra detail, but it seems to me that fencing weapons got nerfed quite a bit. There are exceptions, of course, but a rapier-wielding fencer will only get the same level of bonus as before the nerf on ST18, and even a +1 bonus requires ST14, whereas most fencers in our games have ST11-12.

How come, and, would you that fencing weapons have a minimum +2 for relative ST is sensible (basically merging the two rules)?
