One thing I forgot to mention is that the emitter is MHS compatible as well - as I discovered here:

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=33068.msg549148#msg549148


I really like the stock pommel but sometimes I can't help but make some small changes when I can, love MHS Smiley

I also installed QD's though it's a bit of a pain trying to get the wires back into the hilt down the deep channel of the shroud, but I like having the option to switch colors.

Cheers!

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Appreciate it guys, thank you!

@Zren - the font on my Archon is one of my favourites and it's from the "other guys" tweaked to work on Obs.  And it's definitly the kylo font on the Prophecy Smiley

Spectacular review haz!

That Tri-Cree looks so bright and vivid!  CG is also one of my favourite colours, and I adore the look of it on my Prophecy. Smiley

I'm also a huge fan of FoC, so don't own a Tri-Cree yet - thanks for the comparison, and explanation.

Great to see your Archon as well. Wink

Thanks for showing us the example of the girth...that really helps me judge the size.  It does look very comfortable with minimal "greeblies" on there. Tongue

Man, I need to add sound to mine.

Great review, bro.  I really like that setup you have there, the gold buttons are fantastic and I like the Bellicose pommel on there.  What you need now is a gold plated (NOT anodized) AV switch to match those other buttons.  Interesting comparison on the three greens, with the standard, RGB and Tri Cree.  Not a lot of people do that, so that was useful information.  Smiley

Excellent review Haz!  You have quick disconnects on your Prophecy?
Without sounding gay, you have really nice hands or at least a nice left one.😉 I got my dad's knobby looking fingers.

@Lord Rapine - Actually my Archon felt amazing to handle(!) - hadn't taken it out in a while, but . . .  Cry  (hehe . . .  Wink)  And thx my friend!



@scifi - The V4 board is a great balance for mute on the fly - which I use often cause I get in too much trouble from my wife in the evenings lol.  But love that sound and can't go without it!  Great idea on the gold switch although, I like the slight restraint with the silver switch being a standout Smiley



@Jediseth - Lol, I understand what you mean . . . I actually use Force Persuasion during my reviews now so thats why you see my hand waving about Tongue  I install QD's on all my (well mine and my kids') non-emerald hilts - just an extra step to be involved and personalize them.

Haz, are you getting extra QD off US or TCSS? I have been wanting to get some of those.

Great review! Good work on showing the girth there. Wasn't a fan of how ginormous the Fulcrum is but the Lost Gray is now something I'm considering. Point Smiley

@Jediseth - TCSS, I get most of my DIY stuff there but you can find better prices on Amazon for other items like different style AV switches and stuff.



@HoverFloat - Thanks!  The little bit of extra width is noticeable because hey, it's a shroud . . . but it's not a detractor to the hilt IMO.  It adds to the distinctiveness of it - it's not like anything else I have and I like that part of it too.
