Ok i think I'm a bit lost at what you wish. You have a picture of a parks arc wave and then pictures of sabers from another site. Are you wanting to know which one to buy from or am I not getting it?.

For blade color what would you want? If you make it yourself you can choose the color you want or go with the FIlters and a white LED blade and pick a color to suit your whim each day (though you do lose a bit in brightness I believe: not much though)
as for the saber: You appear to favor the Obi1 OT style and there is alot of variation you can play with to make your own design and still have it resemble Obi1's enough to see the lineage.
If you buy one you get the color blade it comes with (unless it's EL and you can just add a new blade of the color you want).
If you make it yourself you can save some money, enjoy greater design freedom, and "complete your skills" so to speak......

If your looking for a good Quinlan Vos then talk to Jedi Agent, he has a profile at the rebel legion, he did a great Quinlan and the undercover version of him called Korto.

Just collect replica sabers, saves you alot of trouble trying to think of a design! Thats what I did But yeah, when making a custom saber alot of people tend to make the design first, then try and build it. This would seem to be the backwards way of giving birth to a lightsaber, if you consider that all the OT sabers were based on a single object and the actual design of the saber just being elaborations on that item. Try building a saber by not looking for parts to match your design, but rather by seeing what designs you can build from parts you find . As well as being more accurate to how lightsaber props are made, it is also alot easier to create sabers that are seamless in design. Alot of custom sabers seem to me to be very awkward looking, because people have tried to do the best they can to find parts that match their design, rather than using parts that compliment each other. Have a think about it next time you go shopping for saber parts
