Based on this, one might be tempted to say that Reliable should often be unavailable, and that Talent should be purchased instead as the sole route to "better control".

The only reason for preferring Talent is that in many cases, a Talent covers 2 or 3 or sometimes more Powers (even while still costing only 5/lvl), boosting them all, which might make it cheaper than to buy Reliable (at least until you hit the Talent ceiling, 4 levels in most settings but higher in some with or without UB).

And that is quite sufficient. Talents as ever, constitute a package deal. It is always cheaper to buy up a single skill than to buy up a Talent and Reliable is equivalent to buying up skill in an Advantage.
