Koon was able to duel evenly with Ventress and even contend with her with one arm, and he dueled evenly with Savage, with Savage's strength having no effect on Koon where it might have others. I just see these as somewhat better feats than what Kyle has for himself. Although even at that I can see why you'd consider them close. Even in statements they're pretty even. Kyle being a threat to Caedus, Koon being a true challenge for Maul.
For power, collapsing a cave without any real effort vs holding up a collapsed Castle ceiling with strain is pretty even for me.
Koon was losing to Ventress, though. He took one of her blades, but he seemed to be at a disadvantage by the conclusion of the duel, which is what matters. And then it got interrupted.
And in his short duel with Ventress when he had two arms, he was still only even. I doubt having one arm matters because Koon has already displayed the ability to fight with just one arm anyway.
Kyle appearing to be ahead of Corran Horn by the reasoning I used earlier is just as good as Koon's singular showing.
Eh... Kyle had trouble with it, though. He only manage it for a few seconds and commented that he couldn't have held it for much longer, and it required maximum effort. I agree it's on a similar tier of power, but being precisely even is going a bit too far.
