I actually think that the Vorpal Sword is quite a bit better than the Holy Avenger. I have Keldorn in my current party but I always use the Silver Sword instead of Carsomyr. The chance to outright kill things is just far too tempting. By the higher levels (i.e. when you might be able to actually get the vorpal sword) you don't need the extra +1 ThAC0 all that much. And the loss of one point of damage and the dispel ability is more than made up for in the ability to sever liches heads in one blow.
This sword has made many a difficult fight unbeleivably easy. The Twisted Rune? Pansies the lot of them...
