But the power really is often less in the ability score and more in the feature. Option A: +2 ASI Option B: +4d6 damage on every attack...

I think the game is most fun when using the 1E Uneathed Arcana method for rolling. This leads to very high scores overall, but you...

Then they are notably weaker for the first 3 levels, and not a whole lot stronger for the remaining 17.

I would disagree with this IME. The "starring role" is based mostly on the player, not the character. Familiarity with the rules...
