Until the release of skill cape perks, there wasn't even a difference beyond cosmetic appearance between expert skill capes, master skill capes, and regular skill capes.
As a method to rewards player's outstanding achievements, capes of accomplishment should never be a BiS item. They should be items that players strive toward because they value their completion of the relevant achievements. By granting even one of them BiS status, you make it so that players value the item's stats, seeing the related achievements as obstacles in their way rather than challenges they want to surpass.
And in the case of a cape of accomplishment (something meant to recognize achievement), this resentment of requirements drives developers to exclude certain requirements and drives more players to obtain the cape thereby reducing its exclusivity.
In other words, giving something meant to reward achievement BiS stats is good for neither achievement hunters nor those who are interested in the stats.
