I because ot the die-cut....die cut bases suck balls.  Simple as that, all black base is the way to go, it holds and absorbs wax the best, and is least likely to eff you over in this fashion.

i love em, i have them centermounted and they are so soft and buttery for dicking around, but the length gives them some nice stability.
