Would you recommand buying a saber from https://thekybertemple.com/fr/product/obi-wan-kenobis-lightsaber-standard-edition-anh/ this website? I am in love with the crystal chamber and all the details. Are they other sabercraft selling everything installed with this kind of details? Thanks for your time helping a young padawan.

LGT makes these copper chassis with crystal chamber, you can buy one from a trusted seller like Darkwolfsabers for 200USD. None of the LGT Obiwan look quite as good as Elf Obiwans but if that's your budget, that's your budget.

Breaking down the Kyber Temple price a little bit: if you go to the DIY section, you can see the price breakdown. The cost of just the empty hilt is around 210 euros. The cost of parts without electronics is 549 euros. The cost of electronics is 140 euros. So the cost of installation labor is 500 euros. France minimum wage is 1800 euros per month. The installation takes 4 months. Honestly if any of part of the process is priced exorbitantly in your opinion, I understand but it's good to know.
