If I wasn't so lazy, I'd go over and analyze whatever FE data they have for you.
But I am lazy, so all I can tell you is that, iirc, weapon balance is god damn terrible in FE6. Like... swords are stupid good and axes are kind of garbage or something. But I don't know how much better it is in FE7, so... *shrug*
