I would think there is enough of an incentive to go for talents rather than high skill levels for the simple reason is +4 gets you +1 in one skill while a one skill talent will get you +1...for +1 in point cost.

Even the Large talents (13 or more related skills) at 15 points/level are far cheaper than what the same amount of points would do (as long as the skill somehow reflate to each other)
