A lighter weapon is faster and as such, better in actual combat.
No matter how fast you can swing a heavy weapon, a lighter one would be applied faster and speed in edge weapons is THE factor.
There is a reason I mentioned losing your hands.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
