It's definately a matter of trade offs. My character is a lvl., 12 Kensai, so he can't wear armor or use shields, but he gets incredible attack bonuses. He's maxed out in Single Wopons proficiency, Grand Master 2HS.
He is devestating with the Vorpal Blade. Perhaps it is the Kensai's attack bonuses but he gets those failed saves against death for instant kills very frequently. I had one case where 3 targets in a row died instant deaths.
My Kensai has toasted 2 Adamantine Golems all by himself with the Vorpal blade in quick order, and he slayed The Big Red "Kraag" Machine on the second hit.
I am obviously biased toward the Vorpal Blade...
