Comes down to the simple question of.. Does the craftsmanship gain allow you to reach an important breakpoint, and is it a breakpoint that you will regularly make use of (2735, 2754, and 2797), 20-step, Experts, and 19-step respectively. Can slate the control loss as much as people like, but if that control isn't the difference between 1 HQ mat and 2 HQ mats, then it's an irrelevant loss. Similarly for the craftsmanship.. If you don't reach one of those breakpoints then the gain is irrelevant
