Congratulations on your first saber, I think an Initiate V2 is an excellent choice. Those little guys are just a dream to handle, light and super fast. I agree with others that sound is awfully nice (and my usual preference) but the very thinness that makes sound impossible in the V2 sabers is a major part of what makes them such awesome and useable sabers.
I very much enjoy all my sound equipped sabers, but I love the feel of the V2s so much that I acquired an example of all 8 variants. Another nice thing about them being stunt only is that they're always reasonably priced so it doesn't hurt the wallet as much.
Anyway, welcome to the addiction!
