Darth Vader Chestbox

I want a great Vader chestbox, but Ive seen debates about them, so I have some questions. The standard is the GT, but is it too big, too small, I know that the red and blue lights light up but thats easily fixed with a pair of wire cutters. Do the lights flash in the correct sequence? Are the rocker switches all once piece with those switches in between them? Are the aluminum parts aluminum or are they resin? Also, Portumac has claimed that his chestbox is the best, with the properly sequenced lights, and his parts look good, but the box itself I have heard is too small, and I noticed it doesnt have much of a beveled edge. The only thing Ive heard so far about RussRep is that he makes aluminum parts but lately hes been so busy he doesnt even respond to emails anymore. My vader is getting to the point where all Im going to need are the belt boxes and the chest box, so Im trying to get my info together now.Thanks.

If its accuracy you're after, go for Gino's. GT's box is smaller than Gino's, but I don't think they're selling anymore. Last I heard, GT's (or SithArmor on Ebay) sold out of chest box kits mainly because their circuit board company closed down and can no longer produce the electronics for them. Portumac's chest box is a recast of GT, I think.

There's a good discussion in this thread: http://www.therpf.com/index.php?showtopic=115149
