Skill Focus and Operative's Edge are both Insight bonuses, and therefore don't stack. It's nice to get two 1st level boosts in your chosen specialty, but it means that at 7th level EVERY operative is just as proficient with every skill as every other operative.

I know you still get the special way you use Trick Attack, and the 11th level ability from being a specialist (the 5th level bonus exploit is just a regular exploit any operative can take), but are you really a specialist if you aren't better at a skill than your peers?

I wonder if Skill Focus was meant to be an untyped bonus like it is in Pathfinder.

Somewhere I remember an Alchemist who specialized in smearing his bombs on melee weapons, but I'll be darned if I can find it back. Anyone remember what book that particular goody lives in?
