I can't really compare both sets bec. I fight far better with the Charge Blade. Do you consider to start MH4U too? It is great, a perfect mix of single and multiplayer, and later on you can make Guild Quests for awsome Relics. The monsters in the GQ's level up to 140. From lv.126 on you can get great weapons and armor pieces. You will hardly find someone that has the same Relic as you.
