I don't think that's particularly broken. The thinblade, of course, has the same base damage as a longsword, but on the other hand it's an exotic weapon so it's supposed to be better. If you compare it to the bastard sword, you'll find that the thinblade is better when you have a damage bonus of +18 (+8 with Improved Crit/Keen).Also, remember that there are quite a lot of foes where your increased threat range won't help you - undead, constructs, plants, as well as people wearing Fortification armor.</blockquote>
