At that level, 4 attacks at +14 for 6d4+8 or so average a bit under 40 damage or so. One attack at +18 for 6d4+8+7d8 averages more like 35. It's not a big difference, but a real one.
You also missed that when you use Trick Attack, the enemy is flat footed. So, the average vs AC26 for the full attack is 41.4, and for the trick attack it's actually 40.875, which is much closer. At AC27, the averages actually become 36.8 and 38.15, putting trick attack ahead. We should probably also be factoring in the chances of succeeding at the Trick Attack check, but I expect the Operative will be pretty close to 90% successful, based on how good everyone thinks they are at being skill monkeys.
Don't you need to account for CRIT fishing? 4 attacks over 1 CRIT chance will push the balance in favor or 4 attack crit fishing mode.
