I've never read the LotF novels, but apparently Caedus' saber prowess is second only to Luke or something. And his will power and pain threshold are through the roof. I'd see him having a lot of trouble with Exar's double-blade proficiency, but I think he could pull it off. He can conjure a third hand with his powers, after all.
I'd give the Force duel to Kun, especially if he's bolstered by his amulets. All-out, I'd give it to Kun 6/10 times. Superior ranged blasts and an otherwise powerful command of the Dark Side is worth that extra 10% I feel.

Do you see Caedus avoiding or blocking those blasts?
Avoiding? It'd be difficult. They grow in size as they travel in distance, and can be bigger than a man at anything over 10-20 feet or so according to the comics. Plus he can spam them like morons spam shotguns in Left 4 Dead and boost his Force powers to levels unheard of at the same time, while moving mind you. Not to say he'd legitimately fight like that all the time, but IF he employed his amulets while saber fighting, Caedus is proper ****ed.
Solo had a natural talent for fencing, and was considered one of the best duelists in the Praxeum shortly after constructing his lightsaber.[51][68] By the time he was a Sith Lord, he was a deadly duelist, able to engage multiple Jedi at a time and outfight Jedi battlemaster Kyle Katarn.[85] The Jedi judged few but Luke Skywalker to be on his level; ultimately, Jaina Solo, with Skywalker's assistance, was able to defeat him.[4]
Assuming citation needed isn't necessary here, that's a considerable reputation. Not that post-JA had a ton of lightsaber masters on par with prior eras, but still... Being second to Luke "Rolfsaber" Skywalker ain't half bad.
However, Luke could also overcome him in the Force. That's not saying much, considering Luke could spank most folks, but other than that he's pretty much off the charts. His one plot-induced-oneness-with-the-Force is impressive, but not indicative of his normal ability.
And he does look BA in some pics. Others he looks like a 90210 reject.
