One more thing: In SoA, ++ is almost as good as +++++ as far as weapons are concerned. The bonus from +++ and better ability is not worth the value of the proficiency slots. You get a bit better THAC0 and do a bit more damage, that's all.
The situation changes if you install "level 50 rules". Now, you get additional attacks at 5+, therefore, train your beloved weapon to 5+ with the rules installed.
Also, we are speaking about weapons and not about weapon styles. It is always a good idea to have +++ in 2 weapons if you are double wielded.
