Who's got a bocote/purpleheart full splice?

I have a bocote/purpleheart full splice from Leon Sly. No weight bolt. It is the best hitting cue I have ever played with. It is perfectly weighted and balanced for me and it plays even better with OB classic shafts. The feedback is not too soft and not too harsh. I could not be happier except it is not the best looker.
I ordered a Jim Pierce plane jane with bocote handle and purpleheart butt and forearm. Plays great and looks great but a bit too heavy for me.
I also had a Masonh bocote/purpleheart full splice. It also had great feedback. I love this wood combination for playability. You will not be disappointed!
Did you order the Schmelke extension?

Thanks for the reply JMW. Now I'm looking forward to getting it even more.
I didn't get the extension. It's going to be a basic wrapless, with a 3/8 x 10 joint and collars. It's coming with a shaft, but I ordered it mainly for the butt. I plan on on pairing it with a Mike Gulyassy SPTX LD shaft, as well as his break shaft.
