The typical Epsilon 2-Band knots are extremely nice, in my opinion. I would characterize them as being, possibly, just as comparable to the ones you have listed considering you can get one in the standard handles for around $110 -115 shipped.
You really should try one for yourself to find out.

I like softest tips with good backbone what do you recommend

Hmm. Yours is the super 50mm lu20vt ? I just got the ST 55mm. Will mine be floppy or yours very firm, I wonder? The bulb bloom/diameter of the Krion also looks bigger than the burgundy one from the above photos, not just the handle. The 55mm knot must be crazy big..

Lu's brush is the Super (2-band) with a 55mm loft, although he tells me the loft is around 53/54mm. Only the Silvertip (3-Band) comes in a choice of 50 or 55mm.

I currently own the standard Epsilon Silvertip with a 50mm loft and have just ordered the same knot in the Krion LE. The 55mm loft is excellent in the 2-Band, but I wouldn't want to go higher than 50mm in the Silvertip, based upon my likes.The 50mm has just the right amount of backbone/splay and flow through, for me.

Thanks. The issue is, I much prefer the handles with just the logo, no US or Spanish flag. And the only one available at the time of my purchase yesterday was the silvertip in 55, so I went with it. Now I am considering whether to change to one of the other handles in order to get another knot... Oh, the hard choices in life!

Depends a bit on whether these knots are the same as the other Epsilon knots. I believe Lu says above that his Krion is slightly less dense than the regular. In which case your argument is strengthened. Both Dave blzrfn and Eric Essrbc11 is pro the 55 silvertip, in another (TSN) thread though... So the question is with whom my mileage does not vary

New Krion is a bit less dense and has a little less Backbone

I can appreciate the difficulty as there's so much personal preference with a brush. Going on the basis of the new Krion being less dense (I am assuming this applies to both 2 and 3 Band), the 55mm Silvertip would be a definite no-no for me, but YMMV, obviously.
If you get the 55mm and don't like it, I doubt there would be any difficulty selling it on.

Which knot do you feel is the best Epsilon out there one with the softest tips and best backbone

It depends on taste. Krion hair similarly soft to standard Epsilon, but slightly less dense and slightly less backbone. Silvertip is softer than 2-Band.

Thanks for responding. Do you feel the Silver Tip has been a backbone. And one last question do you have other luxury brushes that you can compare it to. I have Simpson's shaveMac's, thaeter, Wiborg, so I wonder if it's worth getting an Epsilon

I had all these brands and keep some, Epsilon is my current favorite hair, the 3 band is the best I've ever tasted similar to the old Thater authentic "silver" tip.

YMMV if course
