I disagree with you here.  My point is this, Fireblade
is on par with Bladesharp 4 in most cases.

Fireblade 3d6 on the average will do 10-11pt of
damage.  The spell description also specifies what it
replaces the base damage of the weapon.

A Bastard Sword with a Bladesharp 4 will do 1d10+1+4
on the average 9-10pt of damage and will give +20% to
hit (which increase the chance for special by 4 and
chance to crit by 1).

With Truesword the difference is 21pt vs 15 but with
an extra +20% to hit. Still a tough call in my book of
what is better.  

The equation changes in favor of the Bladesharp if you
consider a greatsword: 6d6 (21 avg) vs 4d8+4 (22 avg
+20% to hit)

Why not?  It replaces the damage of the weapon.
