I would suggest getting them both to 40/4x and then making a decision before you push any further. Although you can get a taste for their general mechanics before 40/4x you won't be able to get a feel for their effectiveness. And if you happen to love one set of mechanics over the other then play what you love.

However, I am reasonably confident that when you hit 40/4x with both you will see that Knight is far more effective and survivable than the SM at that point. And SM won't get any meaningful damage until you get in the 40/6x range with the appropriate gear which means you will be running Sword & Board or just constantly getting stomped.

Not trying to turn you off on SM but I do want to offer a realistic view of the path ahead for you.

That said, once you get gear and sufficient RR, 2h SM can be very fun even though it is still probably the least best tank on Order (I know IB folks are going to argue about that but they are dwarves and their opinions don't count ).
