PCs are going to find ways to get Advantage on their attacks all the time (like all the ones who will go into Hiding), so if someone wants to spend a Feat to do it via Shove... then why should I consider that cheesy or not allow it?  Spending a Feat on the ability is kinda a big deal... so why not let them do it?  That's how I feel at any rate.</blockquote>
