If you are happy with your rod and you ever have to replace worn out rings be sure you get identical ones. If not you may end up  with a very different feeling rod. The physical (as opposed to theoretical)  tests I did showed that very small differences  in tip weight could speed up or slow the rod down considerably.

Indeed, even very small changes are magnified by the massive leverage involved.
