Well, I just removed my wingtips! I've heard a lot of comments both ways, so I decided to find out once and for all which is better, or if there really is a major difference. Since I have over 400 flights on my Laser 3D, I know pretty well how it flies. I'm planning to try it out tomorrow, and I'll let you all know if I find any differences, and what they are. Hopefully, this will settle the issue once and for all.
