Though if she did that, then yes, it would be very different. Remember, Neo did have a skinny little sword hidden in her parasol. She could, in theory use that in her dominant had, whilst having the open parasol in her off hand as a sword and sheild type thing...

Nowhere near as elegant, but shows she's got a bit of versatility.

But if she did use the hook, she's completely open to Weiss' bladework and dust attacks, unless she can transfer between opening and closing the parasol and getting it in the right position every time seamlessly. Wouldn't surprise me if she could. But she'd have to deal with Weiss' speed, which I think would be too much for her.
