Making points feel more prominent and important doesn't have to mean less points. The main concerns are the penalties to hybridization, the lack of depth and the relative 'meh' that comes from tieing only minuscule % buffs to stats. What we want is something that is fun, intuitive and allows for a wide variety of customization.
I don't see how slightly increasing the numbers associated to a stat point makes any difference in these concerns or goals without further in depth changes. Unless you were already factoring in those changes.
