Like I said, won't be able to afford either way. Not unless they start offering saber lay-away in the next week.
Ditto. Saber lay-away... Now that might be something...
I've been eyeing the new offerings. I like the look of the new Aeon V5, but I keep thinking that the emitter claws would immediately come off because they are right where I grip the thing, and then its really just a V4 with a couple of slight changes. But the Sentinel V5...
That one I like. A LOT.
Thinking the Dark Sentinel V5 LE, with either an Archon or Renegade LE (small) pommel, in either VA or AB. Or Tri-Cree AS and cut some more filters. :-) But I really like the black/silver two-tone hilt with light blue or VA blade. :-)
I can't really put my finger on why this hilt draws me like it does, but its just amazing. My only worry is that, again, the grip point I tend to use, the forward choke, looks like it might be compromised by the new window arrangement.
Of note: This is my ultimate problem with Butcher. The best place to grip the hilt for balance is where the fins are the thickest and the grip becomes the most untenable. It looks amazing, but ultimately what I care about is how it works in my hand. That's why I swing my Aeon V4 and Catalyst around ... and the Guardian sits on the shelf.
But none of it matters ... for now. But one day, a Dark Sentinel V5 LE will be on its way to my house.
