Just because your example character has a 2 higher to-hit bonus than another character is irrelevant. At some point Weapon Expertise will be the single best way to increase any characters to-hit using a feat. Both the 18 starting stat guy with the +2 prof weapon and the 20 stat guy with the +3 prof weapon are looking at the same math, they can both gain another +1/+2/+3 with Weapon Expertise and they will both be well advised to take it.Worse than that if the 18/+2 guy is a player that isn't all that cognizant of this fact he may not take it, but the 20/+3 guy is much more likely someone who's looking hard at the numbers and he probably will take it. Now the to-hit difference between them is no longer 2 points, its 3,4, or 5 points. 5 points is a pretty big difference and starts to get into the territory where some PCs can't hit reliably enough to contribute to combat vs high defense targets. This is the nut of the issue people have with Expertise feats.</blockquote>
