Harpoon has the better ratio and should be in main hand.
You are probably thinking of end game where you have several stacking main hand damage bonuses adding up. Which obviously favors lower delay weapons but the first point isn’t until level 28. So by level 28 your 6/22 is now in effect a 7/22. But if I remember right it’s 1 point of damage bonus every 3 levels past 28 so level 31 the silvery axe becomes marginally better than the harpoon.
Damage cap is kind of odd for me because it doesn’t match up with how I remember it classically. Essentially on p1999 they cap just your weapon damage and increase the cap every 10 levels. But you will hit over this cap with enough strength or attack bonuses regularly. Your next cap increase is level 20 and that’s when most Kunark and later era high damage 2 handers get their training wheels off.
