Dadao - a minor stat adjustment

The dadao is a beautifully modeled but, from my experience, very uncommonly used weapon.  Stat-wise it's comparable to the miaodao but the miaodao is, for most skilled 2-handers with a good budget, the preferable choice.  Compare:

I'd like to see a minor change for the dadao, giving it either +1 damage or +1 speed.  Conversely, the miaodao could be nerfed slightly but it seems better to keep it closer to other top-tier 2h-swords.  With increased damage or speed the dadao could be more than a poor-man's Miaodao, as it seems to be to me, and instead be its own admirable brand of sword. 

But I'd like to know what you think - as more experienced 2-hander players.  Should more swords be closer to top-tier?  Should the dadao be more unique or more similar to the miaodao?  Or is everything working best with the dadao as it stands right now?

Boost Dadao?

Did you check the price on the thing? It's one of the best low cost swords.

Dadao has lower speed compared to the other swords in it's price range, but it's damage and lenght are significantly better, looking like a fair trade to me.

Dadao is low cost and from my experience, very capable at beating the higher tier swords. My 2h alt only uses the Dadao because I love it so much  :) I don't think there should be any stat changes.
