How important is the cue butt? Schon, schuler, mezz and a few others im looking at are over 400+ for their cues. If we use the same shaft on the cue butts at the same weight say 19 ounces would there be any difference noticable difference in the playability? Do denser woods in the butt of the cue make any difference in the play. 

Im not that concerned about the look as im getting a sneaky pete cue but I just want a good playing cue.
