If you get the very bright 12watt saberforge led, you will be happy with one of their blades.
Now on the makoto blades... I wouldn't duel with them. They have leds all the way up the blade, which could be damaged if hit. He says they are duelable but I wouldnt risk it. They are really expensive too. BUT they are hands down the brightest lightsaber blades you can buy, end of discussion. You can send him a master replicas hilt for him to put a blade on, or you can buy a whole saber from him. I believe an upgraded master replica starts at 200 and goes to 400 if you want sound and stuff. He doesnt use good soundcards though.
