I tend to just dive in. The only things I read reviews about are laptops and cars... and even then, with the cars I tend to just go for what feels good on the test drive.
But then, I hate making video reviews, so that may colour my opinion of watching them. I tend to enjoy them when I do, other than feeling jealous about whatever hilt they have that I don't, of course!

Yes, I watched hundreds of reviews before getting my first, and I'm still doing so before I get my second in March, but as you say the Electrum Wind does look like a solid saber with no drawbacks...and as Deep sayed, the grips are thinner than the Graflex's, and they look more comfortable too...
I still watch the vids too. They're a great place to get impressions on any hilt. I think the Electrum wind has no drawbacks as well, but I still await video reviews. However, I still plan to buy one. Right now, I could afford a stunt, but I want to swing for sound on this one, so I'm (im)patiently awaiting payday. I'm still torn between the V4 and LITE sound. I think the V4 may just be worth the price upgrade to get six sound fonts and a mute. Besides, I can't afford a whole arsenal of sound sabers, so I may as well splurge on this one. I can afford it right now. (you get the feeling my mind is sort of made up? )

(you get the feeling my mind is sort of made up? ) Yes, its normal, but the v4 is perfect, I wish I would've got it for my wife, because she could use the saber mute at night after putting the kids to sleep,( oh, and there are 7 sound fonts and the mute)...just only for that, its worth it, you have a stunt and a premium sound saber in one. Plus you can change the font if you get bored. After you order you will feel like it was a mistake, but as soon as it ships you will be excited...lol...

So...black and silver hilts go great with any color, but I guess that the gold doesn't match so well with all the colors, so what colors would you think it would look the worst with??

I chose Sentinel Yellow to match the gold. I have SY on my Shock LE, it works nice so I'm playing it safe.

My concern would be that blues and greens in particular may clash with the gold. Red, too, although not so much. And sadly quick disconnects aren't an option on this hilt.

I agree with you Jame My Eletrum Wind blade color will be fire Orange or Tri Cree fire orange

Six fonts, seven fonts, whatever. (still, have a point for that correction) Either way, it's worth the $10 markup from the V3, especially since I don't have a Windows computer or a Mac to switch the fonts, so I need as many loaded on it as I can get. I don't think there's a way to order one of these and feel like it's a mistake. I was just numbers crunching and the V4 Electrum Wind in Violet Amethyst (wasn't going to go there, but a lot of people aren't, so I will) is under $280 with the 10% discount during the sale. That's an unbeatable price, plus all premium sabers right now are getting the better charger for free. With FedEx ground shipping, the whole order will be under $300. I don't see how I can pass on that deal. I just need to wait for Thursday......
