The curved tips can help align the bands through the draw - larger benefit when using tubes. They can look cool though 
There is a possibility that it could result in a (extremely) slight uneven band length if bands aren't 100% centred (though the reason to have them is to aid alignment) - where flat tops would mitigate this as they would simply follow their own line. Also when making your own forks its much easier to get the tips flat accurately.
So probably the pros and cons even out.
