What would be a good two piece cue to make a break cue?

I thought choosing a cue was overwhelming. Welcome to the wonderful world of tips. 😂 Went to my local cue shop last night and ended up with a Samsara True Hard. Haven't shot with it yet but will get some practice in tonight.

Practiced a lot of eight ball breaks with this tip last night and really like it. Still allows for a powerful break but not I can hit off center a lot without worrying about miscuing.
 
Background:
I'm currently using a 3 piece PoolDawg / Action break / jump cue with a phenolic tip but realizing after using it for a year I don't like the phenolic. And after a year of league play have only broke it down twice to jump with it besides practicing at home.
Lately at home I just break with a one piece wooden cue with a leather tip and I feel like I break so much better with it.

Thoughts:
My thoughts are I don't need a 3 piece cue and feel like a 2 piece would feel more solid vs my current 3 piece cue. I'm thinking I'd be better off with a two piece solid wood cue with a hard leather tip. What would be a decent cue for this or are they all about the same in that category?

Thanks as always for your help and input!
Any cue with a good tip that holds chalk and that you can control when shooting with a much harder and faster stroke than you would use for normal table play.

FWIW, I think break cues and jump cues should be outlawed.

Pool isn't golf.
