I dont want to discuss again on sounds, for what I read almost all are deluded by the Vader sounds but still we need another FX :-)
About the color: I never see "orange" in my Vader, maybe some people must change the batteries... anyway no offense I want to see by myself when mine arrives.
Sound power...it's loud and two "out of sync" sabres may sound different from Vader ... but until now no tests with the coupler, the small holes may reduce the volume a lot, again I want to wait and see, ops, hear by myself ;)
