One handed thrust with a lighter thrusting weapon is both faster and has longer reach. I agree the 2 handed thrust can be powerful, but you have to get in a lot closer to deliver it. I honestly didn't realize that some Katanas were straight - how common were those compared to the curved bladed variety (which is all I've ever seen)? In any case, in terms of biomechanics, the one handed thrust clearly has the advantage, at least in terms of early delivery of the blow (if not force of the blow).
