Bulletproof carbon playing shaft?

Has anyone given this a go? $199 with choice of bulletproof tip and a lifetime warranty seems like a hell of a deal. Wondering how it compares in deflection and taper to a similarly priced Rhino shaft or other shafts like JFlowers S.M.O.

Thinking of selling my Old OB121 and giving a carbon LD shaft a try, at this price I might not need to sell anything.

All the sub-300ish cf shafts are basically the same thing. very little differences in build method/quality. just chek'd and it seems to be ok. i was real happy with the Rhino. Sold cue for $$ reasons but the shaft was great.
 
One big benefit I'm thinking I might get out of switching to CF is the potential to use my playing cue as a break cue, and still get a bit of LD or at least a similar pivot length to the OB shaft.
The fancy wooden ferule on my OB1 has always kept me from breaking with it. And I figure with a bulletproof tip I could break without worrying too much about mushrooming or maintenance.

But I also wonder if the difference in higher priced CF shafts are large enough to warrant the extra investment. Hence selling the OB ...
