I'm getting ready to finally order a Diamond saber and wanted to get opinions on whether I should get an Azure Menace or an Azure Mantis?

That's a hard one for me. Blue is such an amazing color, and it looks so great on both of those hilts. I'd have to say Azure Mantis though.

Of those two, I'd go Mantis too. Something about the azure Menace looks very toy-like to me.

I vote for the Azure Mantis as well. There's so much more going on with the Azure Mantis with the outer hilt and the inner hilt, the curved design and the accents that it just makes the Azure look so good. The Azure Reaper is another one that really benefits from that color. Can't wait to get my Curved Azure Reaper in a week at Comic Con - woo hoo! (sorry, lost focus there for a sec).

These two hilts are very different. But of the two, I would have the Azure Mantis, actually I do have it.

Well as you can see this is all personal preference. That being said I would go for the Azure Menace. On a side note, since you have the Azure Reaper you will be able the mix and match parts from both sabers to come up with 2 custom hilts and the colored parts will still match. Then perhaps the other Azure saber later making it 3 custom saber combos. You can't have to many sabers, right. That's my 2 cents worth. MTFBWY!

I don't own either the Menace or Mantis so my opinion doesn't really count, lol. But I am going to say Menace. I actually took the time to search for photos and we don't see many Azure Menaces, if you wanted to be unique.

I would add that the Menace is easier to duel and spin with than the Mantis. I prefer the Mantis though because it looks so sick!

Points to everyone for the great responses. I think I have made my mind up on an Azure Menace in a blue and black color scheme. My reasons for it are because I am looking for a lighter hilt to more easily trigger the Diamond effects and navigate the menu, already have my beloved Azure Reaper with claws and blue/silver color scheme, and have a black unstable blade in mind that I think would look kickass. Unfortunately I just blew my allotted saber cash on another wish list saber from a sabersmith that gave me such a good deal, I could not pass it up. But I will be saving up again immediately and aggressively so that I can get this by at least xmas or bday. Again thanks to all for the inputs!
