It seems to me that delicacy will be lost if the tip is made to float higher. I haven't tried them yet, but don't they have to make the tip thicker? Admittedly, I don't know how much it would actually affect fishing, and I am probably not good enough to notice the difference. But it has made me leary of them.

I also have had good luck putting fly floatant on the tip of my triangle taper.
