Orthos has better charge and slide attacks imo, but these have stronger late-game normals. Against low level enemies (ones who don't have armor out the ass and thus require an elemental advantage or straight armor ignore to actually hurt), Orthos all the way. Against high level enemies, it's dependent on if you're doing charge attacks or not. Charge attacks, Orthos, as its charge is really good. Normals however, are one of the key selling points of the dual ethers- DE normals ignore armor just like (most) charge melees, making them actually deal damage against high level mobs without charging.

Tbh, you should just get both. Orthos is insanely fun to use, and Dual Ethers can hitlock multiple ancients at once.
