OK...Here's the ability I have the question about:

Perfect Balance (Ex): At 15th level, the penalties for fighting with two weapons are reduced by an additional –1 for a two-weapon warrior. This benefit stacks with improved balance. If he is using a one-handed weapon in his off hand, treating it as a light weapon, he uses the normal light
weapon penalties. This ability replaces armor training 4.

Based on the earlier ability in the archtype, using a one-handed weapon in the off-hand already uses the normal light weapon penalties. So I guess I want to confirm there is no further benefit for one-handed weapons past that, or is there some improvement between the 11th level and the 15th level ability?

I can see it going two ways:
A) At 15th level, a one-handed weapon in the off-hand is treated as a light weapon AND gets the reduced penalties from the Balance abilities.
B) At 15th level, a one-handed weapon in the off-hand is treated as a light weapon ONLY.

My reading of the rule is B, but its grey enough I wanted some other insight.

The DM in me wants to say "Treat it as light with a -1 reduction."
The rules lawyer in me goes "Sorry, it's just light."
