Is there any practical difference between a 6 damage/10 delay weapon and a 5 damage/10 delay weapon that has been enchanted to 6 damage?

Riposte only works on a miss, which I have thought was a dodge. With high AC and a shield, you do not dodge all that often, though free hits are nice. Do you need the SInv? I am a complete novice here, but with your AC/Sh vs your EV, would keep the gloves of the Comet.
