I actually weigh the Spectre and compare it weight to other popular US sabers in my video review of it:
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=39585.0

Compared to many of the US sabers, this thing is a beast and is twice as heavy as the Prophecy for example.
  The prophecy is considerably smaller, though...so that makes sense.  I have the Dark Prophecy, and there is quite a bit of difference in overall feel.  I used to fight with broadswords so the overall feel of the Spectre is really good for me....Emperor's hand as well.

I agree! I have practiced and competed in Iaido for over 20 years. The Katana is lighter than an English broadsword, but is still has very real weight to it. This is what I love about the Spectre. It has the weight of an actual sword.

After seeing one a few of the first videos on it, I was expecting it to be too big, but I am perfectly happy with the Spectre. We got 2 one with the etching for myself and my son has one in the black. They're both beautiful.

Well done TR, I have to ask, how did you get that shroud off? The only way I see is to somehow remove the electrical pins. Any suggestions on how to do it? -1

The electrical pins are pressure fit into the hilt. To remove them I heated up the hilt so that the aluminum would expand more than a Pin. Then worked the pin out  I will be putting it back in the same way.

Yeah it is nowhere near the weight of a Mantis or Malice those are some monsters (but I do like them), I think it is around the same weight class as a Guardian or Emperor's hand.  To me it is a comfortable weight that gives that real weapon feel like my Reaper.  Of course blade grade and length can vary how it overall feels.  I think I would personally go with a midgrade 32" blade for a Spectre but that is just me.

HA, Malik I was just writing this response when I saw yours, I agree completely very similar to the Emperor's hand type with this Spectre!

yes, I own the malice and everyone in group calls it "the beast" mantis don't compare in weight. so still heavy weight champ the Malice! lol

Just for me, it's either AB or SY when I think of the Spectre.  How about yourself, Kazuto?

SRD with AB FoC is one of my favorite combos. I look forward to seeing it when you buy it.

I was thinking DVA, or SY but I haven't been sure, I'm saving SB for my butcher cause I think the blue and silver one with AB would be very Ravenclawy.

My Spectre is in DVA, and I have to say, it is pretty cool. With a 32 in blade, it is perfectly balanced. It's also very comfortable to spin and wield,  especially when I use a heavier strike against an opponent. I do feel like I have a real sword in my hands. If you're thinking about getting it, stop thinking about it and go for it.

I picked one of these up at DragonCon this year and will say I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as bulky as it seems to be in online pics.  I went with the basic, no windows or tech engravings, with my first every Arctic Blue blade with silver FOC.  The tech engraving was just too aggressive for my taste, but I absolutely love this hilt.  As stated earlier, this does feel like somewhat of a sword in the hands and the handguard is a nice addition.  I also was fortunate enough to get the angled box activation switch and not the square.  This was a purchase I did not think I was going to make until I saw it.  It did not have a recharge port, which I still want, so I will have to send it back in.  I did LOVE that this came with both a D-ring and cover-tech wheel on the hilt.  This saber could absolutely be Jedi or Sith easily.  I love my set-up and I love the plain black grip area of the hilt as well.  Sometimes plain is just fine.  This is a awesome lightsaber that I will highly recommend that you get, you will NOT regret it that is for sure!
