Thanks, looking to take a few more lbs of of draw weight so that's where I'll do it. Makes sense since I've been extra careful not to go too thin close to the handle.

A whip ended bow is not necessarily a bad thing depending on the purpose of the bow. Light arrows for Target shooting launch faster out of a whip ended bow than a conventional tiller.  Not great for hunting though as it doesn't really have the muscle to push heavier arrows with as much Force.  I don't have personal experience with this, just read about.
