Jump/Break cue or Jump cue & Break cue suggestions

[forsocdude]

I have been playing for several years now and my game is continuously improving. I am in the market for a new jump/break cue or separate jump and break cues and was hoping to get everyone's suggestions.

If I buy a jump break, I would like to spend around or less than $150. So far I have considered the Fury jump break JB-BS ($130), the Scorpion jump break SCORPBJ ($152), and the Cuetec 99296 ($130). I think I am leaning towards the Scorpion because of the water buffalo tip as opposed to the phenolic tips of the other cues. a couple friends have phenolic tips on break cues and they really don't hold chaulk.

If I go the more expensive route, I might buy a Lucasi LS2000JC jump cue ($68) and a Cuetec 99535 ($70 replacing the tip with a tiger jump/break) or a Cuetec Vortex Break cue ($200). I?m inclined to get a Cuetec so I can get the cue extension as I hate having to use the bridge when I can almost reach... would the cheap cuetec work well as a break cue? i figured because of the "power-bonded" fiberglass shaft it should be pretty stiff.

i'd love to hear everyones comments, concerns, and suggestions.

for me it seems to be one or the other. I have a sledgehammer that breaks absolutely awesome, but i cant jump with it well at all. I have a J@J j/b break that i can break ok with but i can jump great with it. I played with a friends fury and to me it did both pretty well, if i was going to buy one in your price range id get one of them........cant speak for the scorpian or cuetec
