Alright guys I'm going for it haha, not saving for flash on clash so might as well!
I agree with Canterbury. I bought my first, a Sentinel with TRI CG and its amazing, but I still hadn't tried the FoC yet until I won my Guardian in the last raffle, it was GB with silver flash on clash, and although it's cool, I prefer the extra brightness and fullness of the blade with the TRI cree. All my next sabers will be with TRI colors, unless I get a VA or forum color...

Talking about the Sentinel, I love it so much that I have plans of getting all versions of it in the future, after I get a premium or higher end saber. A dark le in TRI GB, a silver le in VA (Canterbury's BMF), and I think I'll get the dark one in either TRI BR or SY... But that would be in four years time, only one saber per year...

FOC doesn't do much for me.  I do want to try TRI Cree, though.  Hearing you guys praise it makes me want one even more.  The only reason I didn't spring for TRI on my Electrum Wind is because it isn't available for Violet Amethyst.  Maybe I'll get a Prophecy or Dark Prophecy in TRI Arctic Blue sometime this year.  Cheesy

Sedsti Skyfaller sayed the new Tri AB was a bit more greeny than the standard one, it looks like there are 2 diodes in blue and one in green, not 3 of the same AB color...

I personally think the Prophecy is a good all-around size for most people, usable with one or two hands.  I'm always a big proponent of that hilt style.  Of course, even though I haven't experienced it, I've seen a lot of praise for the Sentinel... so it sounds like you can't go wrong with either.

Any questions about the Prophecy (I have a Dark one), lemme know.

I agree with you, it is a very comfortable saber, has a bit more details and also, I forgot to say, the two screws holding the blade make it more stable and firm than the one screw that the Sentinel has... The decision really depends on what hilt he thinks looks better for his taste, cause both are perfect for spinns and dueling, and both very comfortable...

Yeah, both are solid choices.  I actually took the gold thumb screws off mine, and replaced them with regular (shorter) set screws.  I found that when I was using the hilt, my hand kept rubbing against the gold ones, which loosened them (creating blade wobble).  Typically, I recommend that to most people who intend to use the hilt extensively.

Thanks for the help guys! I'm so 50/50 on these sabers. Wish I could afford both right now!!

Prophecy man. 11" hilt, two grip points, some style points, and it looks awesome. I'm about the same height as you, and the Prophecy with a 32" blade is literal perfection. I have a Sentinel V4, and while it also has loads of style points, I find it takes a bit more effort to wield, due to it being just an inch longer. It's a comfortable saber, and very nice, but I'd have to say the Prophecy is the way to go. But if you really do want a Sentinel, the Apprentice V4 would suit you just as well, unless you HAVE to have two grip points. Just for some comparison, I made two videos doing some spins with both. It might be a little hard to tell, but I'm having a tad more of a hard time being fast with the Sentinel, but that could just be because it isn't my main saber

Sentinel for sure Tongue Love my Sentinel V4. I got the silver one though in Sun Rider's Destiny with windows and any silver based pommel looks awesome on it such as the silver Shock pommel like I have on mine as well =] The grips are amazing too especially the bottom grip. Perfect spinning saber as well

Sentinel.  I know there's a lot of love for the Prophecy, but I love my Sentinel.  

I'm 6' and have no issues using it one handed with a Heavy Grade 36" blade, spinning or dueling.  I find the slight extra length puts the balance right where I like it.

The biggest problem of course, is that neither is the wrong choice.  But I vote Sentinel.

Awesome videos man! Great comparison to show me. My question for you is how is the prophecy for reverse grip spins ? I love switching it up with some reverse grip. Is the hilt fairly easy for that?

Ya, I've never really seen the appeal for FOC. Like it's a cool feature, but I think personally, I would find it annoying after awhile.
