Both the weapons have a the same enchantment bonus and both weapons are longswords instead of having one offhand weapon. And about the issue of reaping strike vs sure strike the thing is that that is not even a contest. Not because sure strike is so bad but because reaping strike is so fantastically good.</blockquote>
