Omission Rule

Ex:

1. It is best to deal with the problem by discussing with experts than non-experts.

2. It is best to deal with the problem by discussing with experts than with non-experts.

Are both sentences above correct?

I keep having these omission rule questions in my head. If somebody knows a webpage that deals with omission rules, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks in advance!

If the sentence is as you wrote:

It is better to deal with the problem by discussing it with experts than with non-experts.

Is the "with" in RED necessary?

That's why I left it there. Are you unaware that you presented 2 sentences and I chose one of them?
