Ha, it's funny you should say that you can't really see it in the pictures, but rather in person, as I was basically typing the review up with the pictures in front of me instead of the actual saber...that explains why I didn't really mention it :D
It really is tucked away in there, isn't it! It really does look stunning in person, like you said it's great that it sticks to the ep 2 look of the hilt, yet manages to sparkle nicely next to the TPM version, giving it a nod to that design too. It's great too, because in my display cabinet I have an internal light, so when that's turned on everything it lit up incredibly brightly and you can see it in all it's glory :) there are also mirrors coming from the back, so you can see it along with the chamber being revealed out the front of the cabinet.
I will admit though to sometimes not noticing it right away due to being magnetized to the crystal chassis :D
