Title: Mid-Grade Blade Comparisons: UltraEdge vs Standard Midgrade for Green Lux Rebel Post by: toddshogun on January 24, 2011, 08:36:45 PM Here's a blade/saber comparison review I did of a Yoda MR that I converted yesterday from stock to Luxeon Rebel Star single-die green. I used the kit from TCSS along with 8.7-degree lens. It came out awesome. I compare Ultrasabers' UltraEdge blade to the standard Ultrasabers mid-grade blade to see which provides the best brightness and color quality for a green Rebel-equipped saber. Soundboard is stock. The results were surprising; both are awesome blades in their own right, but you be the judge!
The Ultrasabers blades I used were 36" and not Initiate blades. I do plan on purchasing an Initiate blade in the future for my son, but the 36" full length 1"-diameter blade looks awesome on the Yoda. No more skinny, weak blade. With the TCSS kit the standard US mid grade blade fit perfectly, but the UltraEdge was a very tight fit due to it being a couple microns larger in O.D. Light sanding would be required. I also do a comparison between my converted Yoda with Ultrasabers blade and a stock MR Luke ROTJ V2 on fresh batts (6 AAs!). Guess which saber won in terms of brightness and overall color quality? You can skip to 1:26 in the vid to get directly to the blade comparisons, both done in full light and lights off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3ViYEu_08 (http://segashinobi.com/yodalux/yoda1.jpg) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3ViYEu_08) Return of the Jedi Title: Re: Mid-Grade Blade Comparisons: UltraEdge vs Standard Midgrade for Green Lux Rebel Post by: zach skywalker on January 24, 2011, 10:03:28 PM I also like the mid grade blades better than the the ultredge

I find that the in mid grade it's the green you see in the movies, where as the Ultra Edge you get more of a mint green color. It's still a nice color but I prefer the "Movie Green."

Title: Re: Mid-Grade Blade Comparisons: UltraEdge vs Standard Midgrade for Green Lux Rebel Post by: keeth on June 24, 2011, 09:19:56 AM Just my 2 cents here. Got my Guardian Blue yesterday with UltraEdge. Been playing around with it quite a bit. Then today I fired up my red Initiate with standard (midgrade yeah?) blade and I was kinda "meh" :P Changed the blades so the initiate got UltraEdge and it was quite a difference :)
From now on all my blades for UltraSabers will be UltraEdge :) Obviously I haven't tried them with green since I dont have a green saber, but for my red and blue it's UltraEdge all the way :) Title: Re: Mid-Grade Blade Comparisons: UltraEdge vs Standard Midgrade for Green Lux Rebel Post by: Darth Wraith on June 24, 2011, 10:23:08 PM Mid Grade=WIN in My Book ;)
