Default Swept tip Vs. Square Tip blades, performance?

I doubt that any one could or would notice and difference. The tip and wash-out in blades really mean a lot to a FAI pilot than a 3-D pilot. The airfoil ,CG and weight have much more influence on performance. I believe that tip design would mainly affect the auto characteristics than aerobatic. I know that one of the reasons that V-blades went from swept to square for safety.
