I like my T.I.P above the rigging point. Keeps lines away from each other better i find. I see a lot more potential for things going wrong having stuff being lowered with lines swinging across the path of your climbing line. Your only really gonna break out your rigging point if ya getting carried away with size,dont understand shockloading or dont understand tree structure & defects.
