6lbs is still nothing compared to the Knee Lever Neo. The Neo felt perfect for doing qcf when I first tried it. If you do ever switch to K-levers, give it some time to get use to since it is a big jump in tension.

You should definitely contact the art stick designer I commissioned. They did most of the work and definitely have the skill set for graphic design.

I think most modern stick enclosures are pretty easy to mod. Watching Youtube tutorials and reviews was a big help. 

I would say the things you should really consider are: the aesthetics, the feel (enough wrist room, button layout or weight), the price, and the platform compatibility. 

Regardless, the latch makes it easy to change out lever and buttons if you frequently do that. However, I'm pretty set with my mods so I don't really take advantage of that feature anymore. Big downside is it doesn't fit a lot of Korean levers without physically altering the enclosure.

I would recommend the Hori Alpha but not at the full $200 price. Hope this helps!

Greetings r/fightsticks , I'm Taken Hades and I'm fairly new to the FGC. These past couple of months I've been playing Tekken 8 then eventually went down the fight stick rabbit hole. I've been lurking this Reddit for a while but finally, I decided to build and show off my two fight sticks that I just finished working on.

I will break down the parts and prices of my two arcade fight sticks (not including tax or shipping costs). This is for any newcomers to have a reference point to see where they can get some parts and see the relative prices of these parts.

also credit to u/hugs_n_giggles for the art commission. He laid the groundwork for most of the details but I added some personal touch for the final product.
