LOL, dolls. The tips just don't look quite right without the rolled lip. The metal looks too thin. But if it is 3" then you're left with a decision of which you want more, appearance(SLP) or performance(Ebay); because they are about the same price.

i like that tip if it had some sort of thicker edge, or rolled lip on it. i posted one of those a while back, i emailed the guy to ask him if he could do something like that, to mimic the look of the stock CME, but got no reply. the other nice thing about this is its stainless
