Would you pay top dollar for a CNC'd cue?

Make um sharp

When I am buying a cue I am looking for sharp, clean, and even work. I like points to be Milled or Spliced b/c I like classic looking cues, but I admire the works of Manzino and the like that can make an impressive cue that stands out with the aid of CNC. At the end for the buyers, as others have said, buy what you like.
 
There are also cuemakers that do both on the same cue. The points are razor sharp and the inlays are cnc and rounded. I think this was the case with Skip Weston cues until 2003 when he started to do all the inlays as sharp as his points. Of course there is Dave Kikel and his cues are hand done but not razor sharp at all. That is by his design and he makes some very high end cues.

Uhhhmmm, I do believe Mr. Manzino employs a CNC mill for his meticulous inlay work. As previously mentioned, CNC is merely a tool. Sound cue construction methods, high-quality materials, and a pleasing design are essential for the possibility of making a really good playing cue. Almost all highly regarded cuemakers today use CNC in one form or another to fashion their cues. BTW, I'm no fan of notably rounded points or inlays either.
