So - I have an answer because I also prefer metal and heft for static props.
First off, welcome! We don't have as many Obi Wan ANH saber makers as we used to, because we've basically nailed all the parts and now its down to cost and efficiency - Roman's has that and almost 100% accuracy to boot.
So for a couple hundred bucks I have a few suggestions:
Look for older, slightly less accurate parts and hilts. Seriously, unless you've been staring at these things for years, chances are you'll love the look regardless. 85% accuracy is still fantastic, and miles ahead of anything made in the 90s, no offense 90s makers. My favorite older static ones are Parks hilts * and ... I think Russ Rep made parts back in the day, Serafino, etc.. You'll find their parts floating around in sales threads and auction sites, You might even find a
whole hilt for that price. I found a Parks Vader hilt for $109 a few years ago. The hunt is worth it - it's a lot of fun.
*Parks has a shady past and while he made some good products, I'm pretty sure he's banned here for good reason and it's best to quietly get something secondhand from another collector.*
Other suggestion, buy up Roman's new parts one at a time. Save up for each 40 or 60 or 100 dollar part. It will be a journey building it, and you'll discover more about it in the process.
I started out building an Obi Wan saber with 1 real part, 2 resin cast parts, a metal replica emitter and some hardware. (Thanks
Anakin Starkiller ) and since then I've swapped out better parts and changes as time went on.
As for buying a whole hilt right off the bat at under 200, you're looking at an older replica hilt or a brand new knockoff - some of those custom saber places build shiny hilts that sort-of look like the prop.. or at least they're passable
