The main trouble with custom tips is actually getting them made for anything that's deep fit or that has a special barrel/tip mount - and that they will have undefined insertion depth which cannot be changed. Even targeting something like "reference plane" is not quite possible given only an impression and not an x-ray picture. You can often guess right, but that is not certain.
And in-ears are designed for various insertion depths or rather residual ear canal volumes.
Custom tips tend to have neither horn nor reverse horn effect.
Special barrel/tip mount? What does that mean? It's a custom?
I know X-ray technology is available now but I much prefer impressions because its the actual live 3D thing! It's a case where technology (x-ray) goes backwards in assuring a perfect fit. IMHO.
