whipping or dipping?

I have several lines on my boat that were whipped properly, and they're a
beautiful sight. However, when I replaced my fender lines recently, I dipped
the ends instead of taking the time to whip them. So far, it seems just
fine, the only difference seeming to be the asthetic.
Whipping by far, but I'd rather have a back splice myself, unless you
need to pull the lines bitter end thru a block.
