Well, for its money, the pechauer break is a very good break cue. I have made breaks with the Predator BK2 and the Mezz Power Break Pro as well. These last two seemed a bit better to me(by only a small margin, nothing dramatic) but they are a bit more expensive. I like the shaft of the pechauer a lot by the way. It seems rather stiff.
I don't know about the tip, I put a white diamond on my pechauer right away. It breaks awesome overall.
