I mean this as an honest question. Why do you guys cut from such long measure? That distance requires both of you advance at the same time in order for a threat to be legitimate. Either of you could stand still, let the attack fall short, and follow after with a variety of options. Thanks in advance!
Not gonna stop the momentum. Sure, you could cut the hands, but the sword is still moving to cut you. Blocking and attacking seems to be a hallmark of longsword fighting. I see a lot of hand sniping in Kendo, not so much in HEMA, but it's very much still there.
Succinct and informative. Excellent, just like you.

Never go for the blade all ways the handle or hands and break them
