Although I'd suggest getting maxed on UR125 first and chipping out anything beyond that.
I looked at all the round faps, and the key difference with the square ones are heals per minute. I used to use the sk-20 adj (24/min) before the ek-2600 (27/min), and the difference is huge for heals during combat. Using the round fap often meant I had to use it two or three more times before I could shoot again (with the monster getting 1-2 extra regen tics,) while with the ek-2600, I often can get at least 1-3 shots in between faps. According to entropedia, there's no round L fap that will heal faster than 24/min. (There's two UL ones at 26/min that probably cost more than my car.)
Vs the round faps, I'm pretty sure the ek-2600 saves me money in terms of ammo/wep/armor decay, and the total use is so small I'm maybe losing 1-2 ped per 400+ ammo IF conditions were perfectly equal (say I use the ek2600 once for a 42 heal vs herb box 3 times for the same amount of hit points, and the extra time using the herb box did not result in needing more shots to kill the monster.) If conditions were not equal in the above scenario, I think the ek2600 would probably save 5 shots per aurli, 3 per trox, 1 per argo at 23.5 pecs per shot (apis/dante.)
I think the round ones are great for skilling or fap duty, but a fast square one is key in-combat.
