Depends on whether you're interested in having a decent selection of historically accurate swords. Most of those aren't really true copies of what you'd have found in history.
This site is good if your looking for a broader selection of swords and weapons that are more like the real things:

The addition of the ridiculous is sortof unavoidable. If they didn't use a thing in ancient history, either they didn't think of the idea (rare) or it was a stupid idea that is just designed to look cool. A lot of the swors that add wings and spikes all over the place ... well if you used it you might slit your own wrists.
