smellme said..Thank you very much, Mikey. That's actually very helpful. I tried on my masts first, and my 2017 gold 400 fits 2018 430 perfectly, but I guess it's just a coincidance

.
They should fit. The spigot part again should be the same size on either. I might think a 490 or larger could be different.
if the mast ends are from the same company, a large difference in carbon content, like 55 to 100, could alter a compatibility issue as to flex, OTOH it could be better.
Generally speaking using 2 different brands is not good. Beware that The spigot is at times on the top, some bottom,
you don't want 2 ends the same
