I recently owned an Arnot with a laminated dymondwood butt that hit as solid as any cue you could possibly hope to find! The workmanship was nice and I thought that using the dymondwood was a creative idea. Keeps warpage at a minimum. I bought mine on the secondary market and paid a decent price for it. I'm a flipper, and when I sold it, I didn't make much, but I didn't lose anything. Give one a whirl!
