Default Cage Tube Die Questions

What radius size would you guys recommend for a cage and bumpers? Right now I have a 1.5"x6"CLRx120*, but I think the 6" radius might be a little too large. I have the option of swapping dies with pro-tools for about $90-$100 if needed. The cage will be a hybrid, similar to EricsXJ's

Now how about the tube size? I originally went with a 1.5" die because of weight, cost, and looks (after looking at Eric's cage). Should I stick with 1.5" or bump it up?

What do you guys think?

1.5 is a lil light for a 4500 lb rig. Personally both of my caged rifes are 1.75x.120. I have the 6" radias die, and it is fine for just about everything you need. Not sure about that on 1.5 though
