Bonus stats and Base stats are exactly the same. They both diminish at the same rate, it's just that BASE stats allow you to buy things early. Like having 50 aptitude and putting a few points into WIL will nab you exceptional will. As it stands right now, it doesn't.

Also, Aptitude was already reworked. Now it's 1 every 6, compared to 1 every 5. Which was a major issue back then, but with it changed to 1 per 6, it's not seen as the god stat that it was and some build still greatly benefit from having it compared to others. I'll let you know right now that most of my characters use it with 7-9 stats because its worth it for that.
