Exhaust port shape question

I have been looking at a lot of port jobs and i am wondering what kind of a difference does having your leading edge of the port rounded or square at the bottom affect. I used pineapple racing templates and they are a very sharp edge. I will post some pics up to make my question more clear.

Here's an endorsement for the new Rotary Book:

I've only read part of it, but I believe it answers your question, and much more.

It would be $15.00 well spent

Finally got the camera working i am talkin about blending the first edge the rotor hits to make it more rounded, but keeping the port size the same.
