I agree. I like the fact that a skilled warrior is deadlier than a brute.

And since it is not just one on one fights, having a brute has its advantages. In order to have the skilled warrior you must sacrifice some ST and/or DX. Maybe a trap has a DX save or poison bite has a ST save: the brute then has a slight edge. Overall, still better with the skills but I love that it is not one sided.
