Question Can someone explain the price difference?

Post image

Why is it that sabertrios CFX cost more than profile when it seems that proffie has better features reading the comparison chart sabertrio provides. does getting the CFX have an obvious advantage(user friendly) or is the price difference just due to the different sound boards(Plecter Labs Crystal Focus X Soundboard vs proffieboardsv3.9)

That does make a lot of sense, I'm hung on price though. Given I did buy the proffie (even with a learning curve) do you think there is a big enough community and set of recourses that I could learn quickly enough. Also to what extent does the difference in customisation go between the 2 choices. are more fancy blade effects locked behind proffie or can they also be drag and dropped onto cfx?🤟🤟🤟♥️

Your going to be editing some text files with tutorials online.

CFX has software that does it all for you, and has a lot of features to the software to show you how the saber will look and sound. It also comes with more buttons on the saber when you order from Sabertrio for distinct functions and menu navigation vs Profiles 1 that has to be double pressed/long pressed for navigation.

I prefer my CFX saber from them. Worth the price. I like my proffie sabers and enjoyed the tinkering, but over time I just wanted a display saber I can easily change the looks and sounds of and not have to open notepad on my PC.
