Since there are already many great reviews on these lightsabers, I won't be writing one of the Anakin ROTS and the Vader ESB. Instead, I will write about how each model differs from each other.
HILT
Both the Anakin ROTS and Vader ESB have very sturdy designs. They look very good and they feel solid as well. The Anakin ROTS does feel very much lighter compared to the Vader ESB. It's just too bad that the gold and chrome platings on the Anakin may come off in time. One won't have to worry about anything fading off from the Vader ESB. Both are almost the same size.
BLADE
Did you know that our eyes respond to blue better even though a lightmeter measures the same reading for both blue and red? Anakin's blue blade was able to light a dark room no problem! The start-up is a little blinding. And when I turn it off, I can still see some kinda 'light-shadow imprint-thing' (damn, what is it you call it)? Vader's red glow is surprisingly bright as well, but if you compare it to the blue blade, it will not seem so.
SOUND
Anakin: The sound is perfect. It is very loud and just a little scratchy. I'd like it to be louder still, especially the idle hum, and movement sounds. Clash effects are easy to set off without hitting it too hard. Startup, powerdown and motion synchronisation is good.
Vader: The idle rumbling hum is really menacing and suits the saber very well. Even though there is only one, the clash sound is a hissing-sizzling effect and is loud, I love it! However, it is difficult to set off the clash sound for my Vader ESb. I suppose it depends on the batch, there are others who don't have this problem. Powerup/down sounds are timed perfectly for both the lightsabers. The shutdown takes a little longer than Anakin's as it has this pre-shutdown sound effect.
The motion sounds of the Vader ESB are VERY SENSITIVE. There are situations that even if I hold the saber still and move it a little, i hear the swoosh (or some other effect) a few times without stopping. This is the ONLY thing that I'm not very happy about. But apparently, almost every Vader ESB owner has this issue. So I can accept that.
CONCLUSION 
I'm happy I have both of these lightsabers. Ultimatetoys shopowner, Kavin, told me that production for Anakin ROTS, Vader ESB and Mace Windu AOTC will be stopping in 2005. These lightsabers are fun when you play with someone else (Masterreplicas do not recommend duelling with these collectibles).
I really hope that these lightsabers will last a long time. I'd like to display them once I have a place of my own (which will probably take 5-6 years from now). Even though they are expensive, I love them and I do not regret purchasing these two awesome lightsabers of Anakin Skywalker who turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader!
