Leveling advantage means the shooter can heal and repair themselves. Clear power gap that is eliminated by grinding BR to 20 and allocating certs to matching specs.

PS2 BR1 0hrs: Basic MA
PS2 BR20 100hrs: MA w/ all the bells and whistles and a basic med tool
PS2 BR20 100hrs: Basic MA and a med tool with all the bells and whistles.
PS2 BR20 200hrs: MA and Med tool both maxxed out.

What you just basically said is that there is an evident power gap between a BR20 and a BR1 due to choices and variety.

You then went on to say that in PlanetSide 2 a BR20 versus a BR1 has the same power gap, due to variety, except you added in the fact that the BR20's MA and med app were both maxed out. Once again, maxing them out is pointless. He already has a power differentiation due to having both MA and the med app. No need to tack on an extra 20% to various stats.
