Tip looks really nice & probably will cuts better too.
Choil is iffy because in conjunction with the hole, together they raise too many questions, such as structure strength; design balance; shorten; etc.. Knowing a folder doesn't need that much lateral strength at the heel, since the handle at pivot will snap before the blade. I use the heel area a lot, so I would only add a small sharpening notch instead of a choke-up choil.
