One of my favorite sabers (Sith'ari) is just over 14" and if I were to make the saber all over again, I would have gone smaller. I would have either used a 5" double female for the hilt or done something different with the adapters/choke/blade holder section. It is all personal preference. You could get a card board tube or some paper and make it to the length of the saber. That will give you an idea of what it is going to be like in the real world.
