I've got a srd saber and I've used both ultra edge and regular blades in both mid and heavy grades in it and the only real difference that I notice is with the regular blades it has a more green tint to it and with the ultra edge it has a slightly more blue tint to it. Mids are brighter than the heavy's, however it's not by much, and with the heavy's in my opinion the regular blades look better than the ultraedge blades, on the flip side though in my opinion the mid ultraedge looks better than the regular mid. Hope I was of some assistance.
Thanks for the insight! The regular midgrade should be here tomorrow. So I guess Ill see for myself and then determine which I prefer. Either way, having two blades is certainly useful.
Nice saber. Dark Prophecy has been on my list for a while now. I love the SRD on black hilts too, good choice.
It's such an amazing contrast, since most black hilts are associated with red blades or sith.
