There is no comparison.
Night Vision offset combat penalties; Acute Vision does not.
That's why Night Vision is more "powerful" than Acute Vision.

That probably means that the GM either forget to apply darkness penalties, or forbids players from taking Nightvision.

No, this is false. Trait cost will influence how players build and especially how they improve their PC.

If ST costed 2 points per level, a player who wanted to emphasize DX could spend 60 points in it, and just 30 in ST... getting DX 13 and ST 25.
