It depends whether you are in the "nothing but the bare necessities" mode, or the "give me an excuse mode"
I own one of the 1.5 inch belt ends, and I don't really like the look it gives. I don't really find the high end belts are done that way. For one thing you can set out your belt by doing it a really distinctive way, look at the way Slye's bolster attaches, though that is the other end. Currently I see more oval ends, neither pointed or full rounded. I sometimes hit the end of a belt so the point is off the end, then use a sanding belt to round the corners and that makes a fast oval.
My thinking at the moment is to move to patterns from CAD to the shapes I want (or hand drawn), or even looking towards a CNC cut-out. Chunking down large amounts of money for single use tools, doesn't really make any sense.
Two other tips. I use the 1" round end all the time cut down fronts, and all manner of other things.
Also, look carefully at the two pointy ends, the american, and the english. Being american you might well think that is the one you want, but I think I liked the other one better. You decide.
What I don't want is a long flimsy point that gets wrinkled easily.
