I guess in the grand scheme of things it's not really much different but CC has a more defined set of subcategories than Smart or Well Read. I don't think that the HQ rules specifically rule out your "skilled with all weapons" line but then your character will *always* take an improv penalty. Sure, you could take CC and always take an improv penalty when you use Sword and Shield. Or you could take Spear and Shield and still take that penalty on Sword and Shield but no penalty with Spear and Shield.
