I will indeed chime in here, but only to say that I am a long scrape guy and can't offer any advice on what shapes work best for short scrape reeds.
Measurements on my chart are, in fact, the tip measurements. If you angle your shaping blade your results will be narrower.
I can confirm that Westwind offers a 30 day trial, so you can try a tip, swap for another until you find your best match or simply return it for a refund if nothing works for you.
There are so many variables; you, the instrument, climate/altitude, etc that it's not easy to find the best tip, but we try to make it less painful...
