It's what the system has been balanced for. True, 4d6 will on average give you a slightly higher point total, but the ability to choose you optimal stats more than makes up for that.Choosing higher stats just means making all encounters easier than they're intended to be. Some DM's claim their players need the higher stats, because of the encounters they throw at them. Well, if you throw higher CR encounters at them, they'll just gain XP faster than expected. Why not just give them an extra level instead?</blockquote>
