I.e., why should a main gauche be actually worse as an off handed parrying weapon? If you are paying the -1 DX penalty and don't get that 1 pt protection in exchange then that's what it amounts to.
Maybe I'm missing something but you're still getting the 1 point of "armor" with my ruling -- plus an additional point because of the Two-Weapon talent for a total of 2 points of armor. It's still an improvement.
