I have not tried the pointed nosed one...but the rounded nosed one is supposed to be an upgraded design.
I bought my rounded one used here on OSO and it was already blueprinted by wilson. I run it an inch higher than my sc lower, and lost about 2 miles an hour...but have absolute reliability.

Joel,
He ended up using the pointed lower...but did not truely give it a fair comparison as he ran the blunt nose with Maximus props only...and the Pointed nose lower with #6 props. He liked the #6 props better and did not want to switch propshafts back and forth to try each of the lowers with different props.
I have learned that the blunt nosed lower channels more water to the prop than a SC lower, and needs to be run about 1" higher in order to acheive similar slip numbers.
Hope all this helps,
Chris
