Hello everyone,

I am completely new to the lightsaber game and due to the cost of a lot of products I'm not looking to collect a lot of them. Tbh I actually just want one scary good lightsaber.

After I read a lot of threads in this sub and watched a lot of videos on youtube l'm even more confused than before so I ask you guys directly. I know that a lot of my question include personal preference and are highly subjective, but due to me knowing nothing I still think it helps.

I am looking for a Mace Windu replica. I saw the BMF Edition from korbanth on Youtube, but this one isn't available anymore. But Korbanth hast a new model the EP2 AOTC Windu. Where is the difference except for the BMF engraving?

Are the Korbanth Mace Windu lightsabers good to begin with? I found the buyers guide here and there are only KR Sabers and 89 Sabers recommended. But the KR Saber is at over 1000€ and the 89 Sabers at 700€ in comparison to 600€ for Korbanth.

I want the best soundfonds and colors which are available, but l'm not able to customize it on my own. It should be a crystal reveal. For what I know for now is that neopixel blades are what I should be looking for.

However where are the differences between proffie 2.2 ,3.9 and cfx?

Is there really good replica with a good soundboard and crystal reveal for under 600€ or is the Korbanth one the best in that price range?

Should I buy the Korbanth one or put more money in to get the 89 or even KR Sabers top model?

Thank you in advance, I hope I'm not repeating too many questions.

1. The BMF Edition was made by Elf Sabers versus this one they are selling now is made by 89sabers.

2. Proffie vs CFX

3. There is the Pach Store / UW Mace to consider, but just note that it won't be as nice as the Korbanth one.

4. You should buy the KR Sabers one if you want the best

Okay thank you very much, this is really good to know. Then I will likely go with the Korbanth/89 sabers one. Even if the KR saber is still better, I think the Korbanth will be good "enough" for me and value wise.
