That is a thing of beauty. The small image reminds me of a sonic screwdriver. When large it looks like a sweet saber.

The original configuration looks great. What's it made from?
I have that same flash you have perched on top. I would remove that (like in the first pic) and it looks perfect.
I concur with the previous statements. The first configuration is the better looking of the two. Also, considering you have the "oil pan" activation area like Yoda's, I think flat, broader grips would also be the way to go.
I have some weird off sized t-track I want to try-- if that looks wrong, Yoda style grips are it for sure.
The body is made of two Heiland sync units that don't have the usual plugs, a trade bonus gift from @ScottD
They are connected by pvc, the black part in the middle. That's a 3D printed Yoda-style activation box, sized for a TCSS saber. The Emitter is a random TCSS coupler that I painted, put some O-rings on, and slid a Mendelsohn c-flash body inside of to make an emitter.
Needs a couple greeblies and I need to figure out how to hold it all together-- and I need to paint the Yoda box some more cause it's so different from the black emitter.

I actually think it looks pretty good where it's at right now, even without grips; there's a sleek and simple elegance this hilt has. Especially with its monochromatic color scheme.

Nice saber. But then I might be a bit biased.

I've got a couple of sink builds, they are my first attempt at saber building but I like the way they turned out.

:How are ya doing the buttons? I used Lego for a big red button on my latest...
Lightsaber 4.0, this time loosely based on Qui-Gon Jinn's and made 100% without hot glue gun. The emitter end is pressure fit and the grip is made of tape since I lack the resources to mold plastic or machine anything really. I like the way it turned out but the usual problems of excess glue, some poorly filed/sanded bits, etc. I dunno if it's impatience or lacking good finishing tools/knowledge of finishing techniques. I try to use acetone to remove the excess glue but it never really works. This time I also added a small crystal chamber that comes out with the pommel.

That turned out really cool, actually for the button I took tookone of the throw away parts from my pop up drain assembly, the end of which looked a lot like a button, cut the end off, sanded and painted it just to see if I liked how it looked, I liked on the long hilt one so I just did the same on my Rahm Kota hilt.
Here's one I made for my oldest son a couple weekends ago:
That is really nice. Simple and clean but a hint of copper and brass for visual interest. A practical grip area as well (too many sabers fall down in that regard).
Nailed it!
ETA - I see you've used the clamp and the covertec button to secure the ends of the grip wrap. Clever.

That's awesome, what did you use for the interior of the emitter?
I got a new sprayer for my kitchen sink a while back. This was part of the quick-connect adapter that I didn't use.
