How would you update the balanced weapon special ability from the Arms and Equipmnet Guide? Would you make it so that it's considered one size smaller (e.g. a medium two-handed weapon becomes a small two-handed weapon)? Would have it so that it's one category lower (i.e. a two-handed weapon becomes one-handed, and one-handed weapon becomes a light weapon)? Or would have it so that the wielder can choose between one or the other?

As I understand its pretty cut and dry how its intended to be used, you pay for a +2 bonus and you can wield a weapon a size category larger then you normally would be able. Like a medium human fighter could wield a large balanced great sword to do 3d6 points of damage, but for its cost it isn't that great an enchantment unless your gargantuan and making it a colossal weapon your beter of engergizing your weapon or adding the collision special quality.
