This probably belongs in CandianKnight's addition thread, but I wanted to address an aspect of saber addition that had not yet been touched on there. I know that, sometime before the end of the year, I WILL be getting one more saber. It is just a matter of which one. My problem of late revolves around the fact that, every time I think I have made my decision about which one (complete with darn good reasons for choosing this model, vs. the other ones), I see a video review, or posted pictures, or even a written review of a saber other than the one I had my heart set on, and my steadfast commitment to the model of choice begins to waver, until I am going in a totally different direction. So many wonderful sabers to choose from, and I want them all! Don't pity me my indecisiveness, but instead applaud the richness of choices that cause my affliction.  |

I feel you.  I have the same problem but I decided finally to go with the Bane since there is a new av switch option. Pics and a reveal video will be posted probably next week sometime is when I expect to get it. I'm getting the saber on Wednesday. =] |

Oh, I hear you there bro. Same thing happens to me, but with a slightly different twist. I have a list of all the hilts I plan to buy, complete with colors and everything. The thing is, WHICH ONE IS NEXT. Do I want this one now? Or that one? Wait, what if that other one goes out of stock? What if a better hilt gets released? OH GOD SO MANY QUESTIONS. And even then, I end up wavering on the hilt's specifics as well. Do I really want this color? Should I order a different FoC? Is this switch really right? ARGH MAKE IT STOP The way I'm headed, I'll probably end up having all of them... And go bankrupt in the process |

I have the majority of their models as you can see in my sig, and I've had my hands on some of the rest as well. Any questions you have, I'd be happy to try to answer.

I've been the same way lately, I've got like 5 on my mind that I can't decide on. x) I have the majority of their models as you can see in my sig, and I've had my hands on some of the rest as well. Any questions you have, I'd be happy to try to answer.
This may be a little off topic, but I've noticed that you have the archon v2 and the malice, any way you could post a pic of the archon with the malice emitter and pommel? I've been asking around the forums for a week but no dice. It would be greatly appreciated |

His kids are in town from the opposite coast, he's separated from the mother, and he wanted to show his kids, so I lent him the Aeon RGB and the Archon v2. I will post the pics later in the week. If I forget, just shoot me a pm. |

Bane is as long, but doesn't feel as big as the Guardian. They feel completely different in my opinion. Bellicose is smaller than both and feels lighter and smaller. I only have a War Glaive emitter, not the whole hilt, so I can't really answer that one. When I have it on my Consular, which is my go to for the War Glaive, it feels a little top heavy, and very long, but insanely bad ass. Hope that helps. |

I have the same problems. I initially planned to get a Dark Shock, then at the last minute, changed my mind to an Overlord. I got that, then started planning for my next sabers. I know that I want a FO LED, but which hilt?!?! For a while, the Dark Shock went out of stock, so I was looking at others. My mind changed from the Guardian to the Shock LE, then went to several other sabers. Then the Dark Shock came back and I was ZOMG! Now I have seen a picture of a Bellicose side by side with a Guardian and I am all messed up again.  |

Here's my review for it. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4537.0 |

Ooh, the tough question, I like it. I'm going to say it is between these three: Consular, Bellicose, Archon v2 and stop there. Every time I try to narrow it further, I end up arguing with myself, haha. Even now I'm fighting the urge to add the Bane and Graflex and give you a whole handful. They're all great, though, really. |

Arguing with yourself is healthy(as long as it is not out loud).  |
