So I’m going for the least expensive  full size hilt diamond saber setup I can come up with, I got my mystery box stunt saber and it has a guarded switch, I really like the way it looks it fits the original trilogy aesthetic very well IMO, but is it a good idea on a more premium saber? I really don’tdo any crazy dueling, it’s more just gonna be a f*** it I want it cosplay thing

Whether or not it is a "good idea" as you say is within your purview. Personally I love the look of AV switches and I don't think I'll ever skimp on slapping one onto all my future sabers. That being said, if are totally into the fact that it is a "bare bones" Diamond saber if you will, then it'll be fine with a guarded switch.

It seems to only not be an option on sabers with a control box

There are momentary guarded switches.

The switch for sound, Emerald, or Diamond needs to be momentary - not latching is all.

Hope this helps.

Personally I would not spend the kind of money a Diamond saber cost without getting an AV switch.

I'd go with an AV switch for me, even if non-illuminated

Agreed 100%.

The one option I want before anything is the A/V switch.

Also if a quick disconnect is available on whatever model saber I'm interested in, I go for that second.

I usually start practical before the fancy, fun options.

I have a guarded switch on my Diamond and AV switches on my other sabers and I have no problems with it. It seems less likely to be pushed when your swinging it around IMO. I like the look of it too and I was trying not to break the bank when I ordered it and that was one upgrade that I could do without. Don't get me wrong, I like the AV switches a lot but not a big fan of the illuminated ones though.

I agree with you 100%.

I would use the $$ for a different option.

A/V's are cool, but the illuminated ones while cool, are something I can do without.
