I like to try a lot of tips, and I played with the Pechauer Jade for awhile on a JP series cue. I tend to prefer softer tips, and the Jade felt to me to be on the softer side. Although I didn't own the cue long enough to really see how it played after long term use, I thought it felt great and...
I'd rather buy from you guys than Facebook! The number of scams on Facebook is way up lately, you'd think that would increase the value of a place like this.
Why not both? Pay the deposit to the cue maker and buy the other cue now. When the time comes, sell the first cue and pay the remainder. You'll have to eat any depreciation, but you'll have two years to rob liquor stores, snatch purses, or whatever it is you do for money.
I also found the Cynergy 12.5 to be whippy (although I like that about it). Some other carbon shafts I've used are the Predator Revo, Meucci Carbon Pro, and Pechauer Rogue, all of which are quite stiff in comparison.

They're cheap. they evaporate quickly, great also on screens, glasses, and other random stuff. A spectacular product, way better than the pool branded stuff.
I have not seen the Lite Systems version, but I can say that the Perimeter Billiard Light is fantastic. It's bright and clear, and looks great. I've rarely been so satisfied with a purchase.
