I would consider them, by a moderate extent, similar if the hardware to mine cryptonight fast can also be used to mine cryptonight light. That would give it the possibility that we are open to 51% attacks because of our low hashrate.

Just a note that even with asics on your network, you are still open to 51% attacks.

It's a catch 22.

Agreed and this is also true for bitcoin. However, you know more hashrate is better. The blockchain clearly is more secure and not as vulnerable to attackers who go from coin to coin using their GPU mining farms or rent hash power from Nicehash to attack altcoins.
