My experience of eye eye D/B slings is that the taper stiffens up the cord quite a bit. i've never used one as a VT only a split tail and the taper is spot on for my split tails. I use a selma (tubular) fid. can't mind the size, the middle of my selection.

I've always managed to get the eyes done as per usual. i don't tie a knot while pefoming the second splice.
When i have pulled the slack out i jam a small fid (i won't be using) through teh core to stop it retracting back into the rope
