I am not saying we should do away with a dedicated metamorph preset, what I am saying is that polymorphing is a better skill line to have for a magic weapons based fighter.
And despite not having lore wise the ability to fully shapeshift into other people we still have some very exotic traits for a magic weapon specialist when you put toghether aerothurge, the magical class dedicated to spells involving the use and control of raw energy alongside polymorphing the magical class dedicated to spells involving the control of one's body - the theme here is control ; control of ones ability to chanel raw magical power and one's body parts.
Also the reason why I think the +2 stat talents are good is because it requires less effort to balance,update and remake from scratch the presets, giving Larian more time to focus on sorting out bugs and adding new features.
I agree it gets annoying at times when presets clash with racials, but if we are not talking about the scoundrel based presets some can be fun to convert - like the current Inquisitor preset where you need to sacrifice 2 hotkeys on your skill tab to able to quickly equip either your best staff or your based str/fin based 2 handed weapon.
