A +3 with both would allow both too, and if he was Trained by a Master, he'd have additional advantages as well, and a +3 is worth more when you're not making rapid strikes (for example, it'll help you win arm lock contests, while Extra Attack will not).

(I do apologize if this is drawing things off track. I'm trying to understand when Extra Attack is worthwhile, or if it's overpriced)
