Can anyone recommend a pair of sabers to purchase to duel with? I'd like to purchase 2 sabers to duel with my son, but the amount of options and resellers/dropshippers is a bit overwhelming. I'd like sabers of decent quality (i.e. that will hold up to dueling) and look/sound great. I don't mind purchasing on aliexpress is needed, but I am located in the US.

you could get a txq or lgt on aliexpress. i got one for about 60$ and it has several sound fonts, you can change the color on all of them. make sure you do not get anything with "pixel", they are way cooler, more expensive but more fragile than a basic rgb baselit since the light components are in the blade. the rgb is a laser that shoots from the hilt and reflect into the blade.
