I just recieved my second ultrasaber today and it is AWESOME!

Hilt: 10/10 This saber is beautiful! The Gold front button and accents on the front make this shiny saber look just like the prop from Episode III! Virtually no visible blemishes and a nice touch with the horizontal grooves on the activation sleeve. The bronze button and bunny ears on the back complete the look of this unique saber. The grips are not too bulky and the covertec wheel is positioned perfectly for dueling and being hooked to my belt. The activation box is a very nice touch and the rounded edges make it comfortable to hold in both hands.

Sound: 10/10 The speaker is LOUD! Much louder than my Shock. I am not sure what it is but somehow US was able to make obsidian even louder that before! I love all the sound fonts, but Default Obsidian will always be my favorite.

Color: 9/10 Arctic Blue is a pale blue color. It isn't quite sky blue but it is very nice and much brighter than the Sunrider's Destiny on my Shock. The silver FoC on the Arctic blue looks great on the Ultraedge blade. And much more life-like than on the regular blades. There is a slight "core" effect on the ultraedge, but it is hardly noticeable.

Duelability: 8/10 The weight of this saber is very good for dueling and midgrade blades have a balance point about 1inch down from the tip of the emitter. The grips at the bottom are not super comfortable, but they serve their purpose for two handed swings. I am concerned about the wiggle of the emitter that happens when I use Heavy grade blades, it is slight, and doesn't really effect my swings too much, but it is still noticeable.

Total: 37/40 Overall, Unbeatable value for and unbeatable quality saber.

One thing to keep in mind with Ultraedge Blades:  the color does wash some.  Also, glad you chose blue.  It is truly a great color.  If you remember from watching the movies with Luke holding the Graflex, his hold was kind of odd due to the grips. 

Great review and overall glad that you are happy with it.  Hopefully more sabers will come and you'll be able to compare and contrast even more.
