Even if it means that I'll have to order via the official website and not etsy (but I'm ready to wait). I saw there are two soundboard too, is there a difference between them? (I'm sorry every time I say last question and I have others coming in...)

Actually I've emailed them about the blade specification on etsy orders. You can most definitely request your blade length in the order comments, so there is no need to order through the main site if you are trying to avoid the wait.

The different soundboards are SaberCore Crimson and SaberCore Viridium. SaberCore Crimson is more of a dark side soundfont. It has a deeper ignition sound and hum. But the main difference is that it has a lightsaber lockup/force lighting sound effect for the auxiliary button. SaberCore Viridium reminds me a lot of Luke's lightsaber sounds from Return of the Jedi. It has a very high pitched ignition. I believe it has different clash sounds than than Crimson. And the main difference is the auxiliary button. For Viridium it has a blaster bolt deflection sound effect (which Shameem pointed out to be the sounds of an AT-ST firing). My personal choice of the two is Viridium, but I really enjoy the crimson as well. I believe you should also specify which soundboard you want used in the order comments on etsy.

Hope this helps!

Posts: 490 Like received: 73	I'm 5'9" (69") and I prefer the 32" blade. The longer blade is, well, too long. It's usable but a little uncomfortable. Don't forget, these blades are thick and heavy. Longer blade puts the balance further away from the hilt. That was my biggest issue with the 37"

This is much closer to the blade length of a Katana or Shinai (Kendo sword) which are used in the classes I teach. 37" blades are closer to the length of European blades, which in my admittedly biased opinion are a bit unwieldy.
