ok, i just did exactly what i've been planning the last couple of days this afternoon.
i used my bruiser frame. took out all the unecesary equipment namely, the missle packs and the zook. i kept the primer on.
first thing i did was test the raw power of each blade at full contact, with the two ACs standing face-to-face na nakadikit. i know the elf3 is is the more powerful blade in this respect, but i just want to see the numbers. so, moonlight = 2400+ and elf3, 2700+. i used the starter AC as the test dummy.
the next one is quite interesting. i tested how much damage each blade did at odd angles from the target AC in an attempt to only get a partial contact. it was only a brief test, but the moonlight beats the elf3 in this category because of its length and numerous contact points. the moonlight did around 1500-1700 while the elf3 did half of that, not counting the wave damage. though, you can still do around more than 1500-1800 damage with the elf3 even if you didn't get a full contact as long as the target is directly in front of you for the wave to connect. at odd angles though, the moonlight performs consistently.
now since people are going to be moving a lot in a real fight, there's little chance you would actually get a full contact with any blade. so, it is a good idea to consider the length of the blade as well.
another interesting thing about the a72f: i swear i was pulling of blade strikes in rapid succession with the moonlight just as i would with the lb2. i tried the moonlight on a middleweight frame with the langur, and it was pretty sluggish during recovery.
