Default Carbon Express Arrows

Does anyone have any experience with the Carbon Express 3D selects? I'm looking strictly for a 3D arrow as I'll likely be shooting something a little heavier for hunting in the fall.

The 3D selects are 8gpi, +/- 1 grain and +/- .001" at around $82/doz bare shafts.

The CXL selects are also 8gpi, and +/- 1 grain, but have a straightness of +/- .003" and cost around $98/doz bare shafts.

I'm just curious what the difference is in these two shafts. It seems that the 3D selects have the tighter tolerences but yet they cost $16 less per doz. Just doesn't make sense. The weight is the same, so maybe the 3D select is a fatter shaft which would give it a thinner wall making it a little less durable?

OD on the CXL select is around 23/64. I couldn't find any info on the OD of the 3D selects & CE has yet to return my email.

I'm considering a few other brands as well but would like some more info on these before I make any decisions.
Thanks!
