See? I already changed my mind.
I've never handled a Dorinian, so I can't say it's the only saber I would want (I am extremely curious to know how it handles for tricky spinning though)
So, I would choose a,
Dominix V4, (to be weathered)
Orange illuminated black AV switch
Dark Catalyst pommel
Emerald driver
Obsidian V4
Li-ion with BuckPuck
No cover-tech (can get in the way of contact moves)
Windows on emitter
32" MG blade with round tip (to be cut down to 30")
This is my idea of the most useful and diverse saber for me personally to actually spin and dual with (and still have look awesome on display).
I also feel like a Dominix, particularly when weathered, can be paired well with any color LED. I also like orange illuminated AV switches with all blade colors as well. Plus, I would want a non canon saber that could be my own. This saber could be Light or Dark side. So this would be my ultimate saber despite how many fancier looking hilts there are.
I stand by this as my final answer... I think.
Great question Malik! -1

For the record, this question was brought up by someone else. I just thought it was a REALLY good question. So I put it to you faithful forum, can you answer this question? What shall it be?

See, I've already changed MY mind ....... well no, no I didn't. But I'm liking some of these choices so far, and the Dark Catalyst has intrigued me for some time now.

Well I only get a v2 phantasm initiate LE. But if I could choose one double, it would be the future phantasm v5 initiate LE in blazing red, stunt setup, with quick disconnect coupler. If I can't keep a double blade, then I would take a v5 initiate LE, blazing red, stunt, dorinian pommel !

Good choice there, DS. My Dominix V4 made me want the Aeon and those two are my favorite sabers for spinning. They're comfortable and easy to use without fatiguing my hands. The windowed emitters ate my hands up in the beginning, but it got callused. Great choice for function and for looks. Plus, you're right, it'll be your own and you can change colors to switch between light and dark side. The saber is really versatile and one of US' best original design in my opinion. I stand by this as my final answer... I think.

Really? My Aeon V4 is my go to for spinning, how’s the Catalyst for spins?
Its awesome. :-) I am using a 32" blade instead of the 36" blade. The actual exposed blade is only about 2" shorter because of the very shallow blade socket, but I haven't had any blade security issues. The choke point is very comfortable and extremely useful when it comes to spinning or flourishing. I added a Scorpion pommel to mine for aesthetics. My current iteration is a Obsidian Lite with a lit AV switch and a Tri-Cree LED in Adedgan Silver which I filter with Lee filters for variation. :-) |

I too use a 32" blade for most of my sabers and tried spinning with a 32" on a Dark Initiate, it was still a little too long for me. One of the biggest things that steered me away was the concern for the shallow blade socket so it's good to know that it doesn't compromise the integrity of the blade being secured. I may have to look into this saber in the future |

Guess the reasons for my choice only work for myself, lol. A lifelong saber in my book needs to be simple, and easily repaired/modded by the wielder, so it needs to be as simple as I am.

I think I would go with my Aeon v4 with Catalyst hilt and Blue-illuminated silver switch that I am waiting patiently for the funds to purchase (only two to two and a half months to go!).
It's simple, it's plain, it's elegant--all I really want.
Blade colour is Violet Amethyst.

I'd probably go with the Specter with a diamond controller. If I just had money to blow, that'd be the next saber I get.

The spectre is a beautiful hilt and would be amazing in any color. I've always been attracted to it, mainly because I love the pommel. |
