Little update on my Manticore: recently purchased a new LED unit in BR (FoC in AS) with QDs and swapped it with the DVA unit. And I must say, this thing looks....can't really describe my feelings

It matches the red AV and the entire hilt making it a real Sith saber. Not as clumsy and random as the big ones - Malice, Scorpion etc. An elegant weapon for a Sith (sorry for that poor quote

).
Maybe I will upload some pics of it ^^
PS: Tried both UEMG and normal MG blades with BR, and IMO the colour looks excellent in both blades. Just my opinion, but I can also recommend UE for it.
