I was just going over non-enchanted weapon the other day and giving it a good think.

As Henry pointed out, magic is the more efficient choice. It is easy to assume there is no point for fine weapons.

Now, you could say a few things here.

You could always enchant a fine weapon so it gets a +6 bonus total. However, that is an extreme in the opposite direction. at +1, magic is still better

Magic may not be available in some campaigns, or be very low magic. In this case, the +1 default is significant.

Also, in, I believe, Hexagram #6, there is an article about using better metal. (TFT Mithril alternative)

Personally, I kind of like the idea of non-enchanted weapons being the norm. Make armorers a little more valuable. There is plenty of stuff to enchant rather than just numbers.
