I am actually pretty neurotic about the neatness of my cues. it even bugs 
me when people set the chalk upside down on the rail. But if i lose the 
whole ferrule i'm losing a full inch off the length of the cue. losing between 
a quarter to a half might be acceptable. but a whole inch might be too 
much.
