I've been collecting custom sabers for the better part of 25 years now so I'm used to a lot of what the tech can do.

Definitely. I ordered this saber in the very first wave they had and it feels made by fans for fans. There is a black series darksaber and one from Galaxy's edge as well and they are nowhere near as perfect as the Saberbay one.
