If he can fill that gap plus aid in other areas or even fill other gaps then yes, he is clearly more powerful than a pretender that can only do the one thing. If the GK were only capable of being an SC and nothing else, he would still be decent and he would still be used but he would not be as universally powerful in every situation and thus would not be used as much as he is now.
By taking any human pretender, you give up a lot by losing the SC. I don't think 15% extra forging (over the cyclops) is *that* much of a stretch for the loss of the SC and the vulnerabilities that accompany being a human pretender. Path costs ? I don't know. Pretender cost ? I dont know. But +15% forging, -SC = unreasonable ? No way.
