I have an open toe on my LA. It came with both open and closed toe. I only use the closed toe when using templates and so far I have only used a template when I had my first practice sandwich on. Once I switched out to the open toe I have not put the closed toe back on. I would spring for the open toe if I were you, or ask your dealer to throw one in, you just spent a butt load of money, it is the least they can do!
