It's hard to spend twenty bucks on a tip and then cut half of it off and throw it away isn't it?
If you like Snipers I say stick with em. I use Snipers and actually started with one when I came back to pool. I tried a bunch of others including Kamui black SS, S and M and I went back to Sniper every time.
After spending a bunch of money trying tips I literally found something I have heard a thousand times. If it's not broken....don't fix it.
After starting with Sniper I tried Everest, Moori III medium, Kamui black SS, S and M and Kamui tan medium. I know it's very subjective, but I would rank them: Sniper, Everest, Kamui tan M, Kamui black S and the rest don't matter.

Pro Height Tip
Not really, at least not for me and I like to save a buck. The tip even after it is cut down lasts me about 4 months of daily use. That amounts to about $.15 per day. I can live with that. The tip is the most important part of the cue and I want it to perform its best for me. When the tip is new and very high, it just doesn't act the way I need it to act. That may sound kind of crazy but I find a performance difference between a full height tip and a shortened height tip. The extra $.15 savings per day isn't that important to me, especially when I believe I play better with a shorter tip.
Personally, I wish the tip manufacturers would make a shorter tip. They could call the model THE PRO HEIGHT TIP, save money on the number of layers used and create a whole new market for cue tip afficianados. Then again, maybe they've already tried that.......

I've been using a sniper for @ 3 years now. Never used a Kamui, so I'm not qualified to vote.
I play @ 12-15 hours a week and got @ 20 months on my 1st sniper and still have a ton left on my second! I lightly scuff it a bit after @ every 6 hours of play. Like someone said, if it ain't broke... Just make sure you get a good install!
