What's the difference between the two tips? Which do you prefer? Why?
IM is an open star and 2D is a closed star tip. In my opinion, the 1M works better for rose cupcakes. It's hard to explain, but the 2D seems to separate the icing into strands when swirling on a cupcake and doesn't look as smooth. See my photos for my two-tier rosette cake. These rosettes are made with a 1M. HTH!

I thought I was the only one experiencing that!
1M all the way 
Long time reader, first time poster! Lol...
I've used both, I like both, but I find the 1M easier to taper at the end as you're slowing your pressure and completing the rose. I recently did 200 minis for a wedding, and used both tips, it was nice to have the different textures of rose throughout the display.
