The most important thing you are gaining from 2 stat points is +1 to hit. Hit bonuses are rare and hard to come by. Damage is nice too, but many things boost damage. And defences are not a reason to go for an 18, because you can get more defences by spreading your points.Defence bonuses and save penalties are also hard to come by, and some feats that give you bonuses to hit, damage and AC require stats that are outside your primary stat. If you look at feats you may note cases where you get a much larger long term benefit by spreading your stats out a bit more. And keep in mind that +1 to hit only makes a difference in one roll out of 20.In some cases it may also be worth playing a race who doesn't get a bump to your main stat if that race has an ability that is strong enough to balance it out. For example a regular elf can potentially be strong at any class because of elven accuracy. Unless the fight is really long you will get more benefit from elven accuracy then from +1 to hit.</blockquote>
