just found this other post
Convex corrects errors better than flat tampers?

I think there are all the answers... so, thanx for reading!

..im getting the convex one, even if it makes little to no difference! (for those who dont want to read the whole post)

While I don't believe the difference is major, my convex tamper does seem to give me somewhat better results than my flat tamper when there is trouble with a particular roast. Good luck on your purchase.
