I don't know. Most of the weapons I look for have weaker or stronger alternatives. What's the point in having duplicates you say? The weaker ones usually have more elemental damage or slots. Or maybe sharpness or more common materials. It may not be obvious at first, but I think the weapon (even armor and decoration) trees are more thoroughly designed than it seems. But that's just what I think. I'm just talking from what I've seen in the MH series so far.
