Another thing is that the longsword weighs less, but I'm guessing it also does less poise damage. For my DEX build, the Balder Side Sword (similar to longsword) does more damage than a SKSS and weighs less, but I like that the SKSS is able to stun-lock low poise opponents.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the SKSS is much easier to max out since it takes twinkling titanite. The Longsword (and BSS) both require many chunks and a titanite slab to max out. It still might be good to have both weapons in case you need to lower your eq. load.
