Title: Help me choose my first obsidian
Post by: Darth Rifter on March 24, 2012, 02:33:39 AM
OK so soon I will have well over 300 dollars, and I have a few options.
1. Forget sabers and get a TV for college.
2. Bellicose, PO, AS FoC, Obsidian, lithium ion batteries, quick dissconnect, red av swith heavy grade
3. CG Archon V2, Obsidian, green av switch, lithium ion batteries, and quick disconnect heavy grade
The two sabers are only 10 dollars off from each other. I will get the other that I don't get, but need help deciding my first obsidian saber please.

well i dont have and archon but it is a really good looking  hilt as well is the bellicose, I would imagine they have close to the same wieght and feel having said, its is really up to you. Really to me all ultrasaber hilts and blades are high quality and from watching the video they all have good sound resonance.  it really comes down to looks, what saber catches your eye, what design do like better, that kinda thing. These sabers are all battle ready so in choosing IMO it comes down to looks and only u can decide that

i say go for the archon since you can change emitters so there is more of an ability to customize if you choose to, also what foc color will you be getting with the archon?

My vote is for the Bellicose, but both are nice hilts.  Do not think you can go wrong with either one.  I guess it is what you plan on doing with them.  The Archon you can change the emitter if you wanted to, but I i am just partial to the Bellicose.

My vote is for the TV. You'll probably go crazy without it! :D

Eh, in college you've got internet access, and that means that generally you can watch your favorite shows online when you have time.

I'd go for whichever has the larger pommel.  Larger pommel = better resonance for Obsidian sound.

If we're voting, mine's for the Archon v2, simply because it is an eloquent and classical saber!! Also it's not too long and it's got a nice choke point. I think it would look great in about any color!
