| Dec 18, 2020 at 21:22 | comment | added | Barmar | "but" is usually followed by something contradictory. You should use "and". And in the second version, you could say "and even less fit for the task". | |

| Dec 18, 2020 at 15:00 | comment | added | user405662 | So is badly wanting in both the sentences. I remember your having answered a question about ellipsis. That might be the case here as well. If you wish to keep out unfit the second time in your sentences, you have gotta retain so. And but and and might alter the meanings distinctly. | |
