My Silvano came with 1 hole tip pre-installed and 2 holes tip as optional. 2 holes tip has smaller holes. Which one should be better for steaming 4-6 oz of milk?

Assuming you ordered from Chris's I imagine that 2 hole tip is the Isomac tip that I used on my HX. I liked that tip for microfoam results (I prefer faster tips, but it did give good results when I tried it), but I don't know what one pairs better with the Silvano. Try both, and see what you like better! I'm no physicist but I think the 2 small hole tip may be the same actual surface area as a 1 large hole tip. But I'm not sure entirely if that's true or not. One hole tips always require a different technique than multi-hole. The tip must be paired to the boiler size so the temp/pressure doesn't drop too fast, but I suspect that either tip is roughly the same in terms of temp/pressure usage.
