Once people start getting SE and noticing how little their damage actually goes up, they'll change their minds. NLs, Archers, and Arans KNOW what the power of pre-BB SE feels like, so of course they want max if at all possible. My Corsair currently gets about a 9.6% damage increase from SE and I barely even notice it. It's a lot different when SE makes you go from 3 hitting Newties to 2 hitting them than it is when SE makes your HH solo time go from like 25 seconds to 24.
...On the other hand, you have some people begging for SE in parties that don't even have any of those classes, so I guess it really depends on who you're playing with. I will say that going SE first will make training a lot slower than going Expertise or Hurricane/Ulti Strafe first, since SE also affects your own damage greatly.
