Two things....
1) You need to post in RULES.
2) Despite the Mantis' overall girth, a curved hilt is most effective in being more ergonomic in a two-handed stance. But it should work in either case. If you can handle the weight of this hilt, it works great for either.
thanks for the info on both your points |

I love my Mantis, but I will say that it is far bigger than I thought it would be. I can work with it pretty well in dueling, especially two-handed, but I have to get my strength up to really wield it one-handed. It is a pretty hefty saber. My wife Dominix v4 is crazy light. One-hand with ease. I duel wield it with an initiate.

Yes, it does take some getting use to. |

The Mantis emitters with claws have not been available for a while. Does anyone know if this is a stock issue or other reason?

More than likely it's a stocking issue. Doubtless it is not a fast mover like the canon sabers or the V-series, so its restocking is not as high a priority. |

From what I have heard, the mantis is very difficult to duel with and is hard to hold for smaller people or people with smaller hands. I think you chould stay with the consular. Maybe they are making a new one and that's why they are taking so long to ship, you never know.  |

The Mantis is one of the coolest looking US on offer, unique and one of a kind. It wins in the looks department. I would agree however that is on the large side and not the best for dueling. So it all depends on what one is after. This is my video of it,
