As far as Sith designs in general yes. I did like Kyle's 3rd hilt (JK2) mostly because as far as function it seemed to be the best. It had grips and was long enough to be used with 2 hands. It seemed the most ergonomic.
At first I disliked it because of it's rather skeletal build compared to other sabers, but I think it compliments Kyle rather well. The reasons you mentioned are also good. Wish we got more context behind the history of that saber.
