The floating and intermediate tips cast and fish real nice for summer. I tend to overcomplicate stuff, but in reality, I could get away fishing the EMT and the EEMT year round, and be happy.
Short Belly lines with changeable tips

So I've had enough reps with this line and rod to say it's a definite keeper. It actually casts a bit better for me with the int. or s3 than the floater. That's kind of common for me with any multi-to\ip line. I suspect those thinner diameter tips fly a little better than the floater. It's not my favorite summer line, but that's getting nit-picky. I could fish this year round and be happy.

It's also possible that just the int or s3 is sinking and making for an anchor with more "stick" and that matched with your stroke makes the cast better. If my WAG is even possible considering I'm not watching you cast, perhaps try playing with your anchor to get more of the feel (rod load) you get with the inter and s3.
The EMT is pretty much a scandi taper, so a long leader or a poly will improve your casting with the floating tip.
Thanks @fatbillybob and @O' Clarkii Lewisi I did a bit of both, extended the length of my leader and slowed down my turn to put more line on the water, really made a big difference.
